Rename file by replacing character and overwrite

Question

On Windows XP, in a folder of files, I need to rename some files, replacing one character in the filename with another and overwriting any files that already have that name.

Answer 1

You can try the Move-Item command instead, with the -Force parameter.

Get-ChildItem . -include *.xml | Move-Item -Destination { $_.name.Replace("A","b")} -Force
