Renaming files in powershell using the folder name

Question

Using Powershell, I want to rename files in folders by using the name of the folder that the files are in. So in my C:\\temp directory, there are 3 folders called \'aaa\', \'bb

Answer 1

Try this

$dirname = resolve-path . | split-path -leaf
Get-ChildItem -Name | Foreach { Rename-Item $_  ( $dirname + $_ ) }

Be careful not to destroy/delete any of your files. No guarantee.
