I have a folder with thousands of sub-folders and documents. I need a script (Powershell or Visual Basic - I prefer PS) that I can run that will traverse the files/folders and rename any duplicate named files and/or folders while not changing the file name for the latest version. If you are good at PowerShell, this should be a fairly simple project for you to complete quickly and to get a 5 star rating from me. If there are duplicate file or directory names (they will always have the literal '_Version_' in their name. Any document or folder that does not have that literal should not be touched for any reason. There script will need to traverse through the entire directory tree (it can have many subfolders). For instance, here is a sample directory with 6 files. \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] After the PS script is run, notice how the first 3 versions of the file have '_DELETEME' appended to their name while Version 4 (the latest version) file name did not change? \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] \Folder\subFolder\[login to view URL] The above example shows a folder that has duplicate file names, but the same applies to folder names. (Yes, the file names have a .pdf in their names, that should not affect anything but I wanted to point that out.) \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ [login to view URL]\ \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ [login to view URL]\ \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ [login to view URL]\ After the script is run, these directories would look like this: \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ Memo_Version_1.pdf_DELETEME\ \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ Memo_Version_2.pdf_DELETEME\ \Folder\subFolder\subFolder2\jdox_ax15326 XYZ [login to view URL]\ Notice that '_DELETEME' was appended to the first 2 folder names and the the third (latest) folder name was untouched. If you have the experience and can do this quickly, please respond. I will send the recipient a sample directory structure to validate that the script works as it should.

Hi. You described your task very cleverly, thanks. At first it seems that simple Get-ChildItem with -Recurse parameter is exactly what is needed but renaming directories adding a little nuance in my opinion (if we change directory name inside Get-ChildItem how does it impact its inner state, taking into account that we need to enter this directory later? :) ). So, I believe that here we need to have 2-stage traverse: at first stage we need to rename files then run second stage and rename all directories. It will be also a good idea to add some logging mechanism (like Log4Net which can be easily used in Powershell) that will help to check what happened with files and directories. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions...

I can do it in PowerShell. I use it on a daily basis to manipulate files/registry/AD Users and this sounds like a pretty straightforward project. I will need a directory+file sample for testing purposes and let me know when you need the script. When I saw duplicate files, i was thinking they should be binary the same but if the _Version_ is the only criteria, that makes it easier.
