Append Date & Time to File name

i have a folder name  LOG .  the  folder contains  a number of files. i want to append  the current date and time to each
filename
LOG
PCone.csv
PCTwo.csv
PCThree.csv
i want to add date time to each file in the folder 
output should be 
PCONE 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
PCTwo.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
PCThree.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv

I know this is probably to late for you but in case others have the same question use the following method:
First example is for Universal Time (London)
Get-Service | Export-Csv c:\temp\Services-$(((get-date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString("yyyyMMddThhmmssZ")).csv
This example is for local time formatted the way I would want it:
"c:\temp\Services-$((get-date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm-ss tt')).csv"
Windows does not allow for a colon ":" to be used in a file name so you will need to choose a different separator. Frankly I'm fine with a hyphen "-" but that might just be me.
The following artical will give you all the formatting options.

  • Can I append date to the file name using Bursting

    Hi All,
    I know that we can append date to the file using %y, %m and %d for

    But is there any way of appending the date to the file name if I am bursting my file to a shared location.
    I tried that %y, %m and %d but that doesn't work for bursting.
    Please reply

  • Have file name with date working but appending the time to file name can't get a result

    DECLARE @dt AS VARCHAR(26)
    SELECT @dt = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(26),getDate(),110),'-','-'
    Have this appended to a filename like: log_01-15-2015.  Don't know what to add to SQL code to get the get the time and append time in hours, min, sec. like:  log_01-15-2015_10:01:33

    I am trying to append to the file created with the date a time stamp but when appending the time part for the filename results aren't creating the file.  If it's just doing the date part then it is working. Any idea what is wrong? 

    Since you added ":" to the file name, the file name is not valid. You can change ":" to "-".
    DECLARE @dt AS VARCHAR(50)
    SELECT @dt = CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,110) +'_'+ REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,108), ':', '-')
    SELECT @dt

  • Append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

    When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?
    example : Report name : Testreport
    Exported file should be : Testreport-November-22-20076.pdf
    please help me in this

    Hi,
    I know it's been while since this question was posted. I am replying so that it'll be useful for other people when they come across this same situation.
    If you have access to SQL Server Agent to create jobs then this idea will be helpful -
    1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.
    2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query
    select *
    from ReportServer..Catalog
    where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'
    3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
    UPDATE [Catalog]
    SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
    [Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
    WHERE ItemID ='<ItemID>'
    4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
    UPDATE [Catalog]
    SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
    [Name] = 'ReportName''
    WHERE ItemID = '<ItemID>'
    5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
    By doing this the first job changes the name to include present date, then you get you report and the next job sets it back to its previous name.

  • How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

    In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
    I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
    Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Append data into the file in application server

    Hi Friends,
    I have an issue where i have a job which has three different stepst for same program. If i run the job the program will create a file in the application server and append the other two steps in the same file without overwriting the file or creating a new file.
    My problem is like its creating three different files in application server for that particular job since it has three steps . Its not appending into one particular file .
    I am using the FM 'Z_INTERFACE_FILE_WRITE' where i have used the pi_append in the exportng parameter . ITs working when i specify the file in local system. It is appending correctly when i run the report normally to apppend into local system.
    But when i schedule a job to append the file in application server its creating three different files.
    Kindly help me if anyone is aware of this issue
    Thanks in advance
    Kishore

    Hi,
    Please use open dataset to write and append files.Please check the logic of Z FM which you are using .
    To open and write into a file  use
    OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT.
    To append data into existing file use
    OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR APPENDING.
    To write into file:
    v_file = file path on application server
      OPEN DATASET v_file FOR output.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    write:/ 'error opening file'.
      ELSE.
       TRANSFER data TO v_file.
      ENDIF.
    CLOSE DATASET v_file.
    For appending :
    OPEN DATASET v_file fOR APPENDING.(file is opened for appending data  position is set to the end of the file).
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to Append date time to the Source File Name in send Port without Orchestration

    Hi,
    I am using the Macro %SourceFileName%_%datetime%.zip in the filename(Send Port).
    say my file name is ABC.zip
    But I am getting the output as ABC.zip_2013T083444
    Please suggest, How to avoid the extension?
    Vignesh S ----------------------------------------------------------- Please use Mark as Answer if my post has solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if my post was useful.

    The problem here is %SourceFileName% context property would return filename “With” extension. So when you use %SourceFileName%_%datetime%.zip you get FileNameWithExtension_Datetime
    For this you have to handle it either in customer pipeline component or in orceshtration where you have to remove the extension from the Filename.
    Read this post on remove the extension from this file name
    msgOut(FILE.ReceivedFileName) = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(msgIn(FILE.ReceivedFileName));
    After this if you use the
    %SourceFileName%_%datetime%.zip macro, you would get the desired output.
    If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

  • How to rename a flat file concatenating date and time the file name?

    I created a package where I run a first interface that uses a flat file from a server and load into a table in Teradata.
    After using the API OdiFtpPut, I used an FTP file and send to an outfit.
    Since this procedure will operate daily, I need at the time of FTP, get the concatenation destination file name, date and time of execution.
    What is the best practice for this?

    Using OdiFtpPut in the field where it informs the destination file name, instead of putting just the file name (lpn_pln.csv), I put as follows:
    - lp_pln_+<% = odiRef.getSysDate (ddMMyyyyhhmm ")%>+. csv
    For code example, today would record the name lp_pln310120111412.csv

    Hi,
    You need to build the parfile commands first (using
    server sysdate), and then pass the parfile to
    Oracle:
    touch /tmp/parfile.txt
    Why bother with the 'touch'?
    file=/anadbora13/Oracle_Backup/UIBS/dump/inter_UIBS_FM
    _`date +%d%m%y_%T`.dmp >> /tmp/parfile.txt
    Shouldn't that be 'echo file=.... > /tmp ....'
    Why do you show the redirection to append into the temporary command file?
    Now, execute the utility. . . .
    expdp parfile=/tmp/parfile.txt

  • Is there a way or a plugin to add "capture time" as file name

    I just photographed a surf contest out in California - I would like to add the capture time as the file name to make it easier to identify the surfers.  Any easy ways to do this for 600 images?

    Sure, just rename the photos.
    In the library module select all photos you want renamed, go to Library > Rename Photos... (or just press F2)
    In the dialog box that appears select Edit... (the bottom option)
    and in the edit box of the next dialog paste this:
    {Date(YYYYMMDD)»}{Hour»}{Minute»}{Second»}
    If you have more than one photo in a given second, LR will append -n (where n is 1, 2, 3...) to the filename.

  • Setting Date value in File Name while scheduling report to File System

  • Can I script the changing of creation date, using the file name?

    Normally people are doing this in reverse, but let me paint the picture.
    I pulled 204 video files from an old HDD based JVC camera.  JVC records in .MOD format which iPhoto won't import.  I imported them into iMovie just fine, and iMovie even set the file name to clip-2007-11-04 04;42;29.mov which is great, but it now has a new creation date of whatever date I imported it.  Which then causes problem when I want the videos stored in iPhoto and sorted appropriately by creation date.
    I've used the application "A Better Finder Attributes 5" to individually edit the creation and modify, but I'm sure I don't want to do this 203 more times, as you can't just type in the date and time, you have to type in each part of the date/time, or select it on a calendar.
    I've used the application "Name Changer" to batch convert the file names to the format YYYYMMDDhhmm which would be helpful if I were going to use the terminal command touch -t, but again I don't want to have to type it in 203 more times, plus drag and drop the file into finder to populate the location.
    Now, if I were more handy with automator, or maybe some (any) scripting language this would be easy peasy.  I'd batch rename all the files to the YYYYMMDDhhmm.mov and then have a script that just took the file name, passed that to touch -t along with the file location, and a few seconds later, they would all be done!
    Anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this, and tips to what commands to use or ANY advice?  I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I have no idea which manual to read!
    Thanks

    If your file names are precisely as you have written, this script will do what you want.
    Copy the script into an AppleScript Editor document, select one or more files in a Finder window, return to the AS Editor and press Run.  Note: you will need to provide your password when the script runs.
    Make sure you have a backup of any files you are working on (try using duplicates first, perhaps). The script has no error handling.
    tell application "Finder"
              set FileList to selection
              repeat with theFile in FileList
                        set fileName to name of theFile
                        set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (theFile as alias))
                        set crYear to text 6 thru 9 of fileName

  • How to add Yesteday's date in AL11 File name ?

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone please reply to my Query ?
    We have to generate the *.TXT file as an output of Open Hub Destination.
    For this the File Naming convention should be Yesterday's date + .TXT. ( for example if today's date is 27.07.2011 then the file name should be 20110726.TXT).
    Here I could generate the file name using <YYYY><MM><DD> for today's only ( 20110727.TXT). But We need to generate the Yesterday's date here..
    I tried to create the Function module ( FILENAME_EXIT_TEST) as suggested in F1 on that Physical Location input area. And I tried to give the Physical location as <F=FILENAME_EXIT_TEST>.TXT.
    But I'm getting the error as " The Function Module doesnot exist" or "Function Module FILENAME_EXIT_TEST is unknown".
    But I'm sure the FM is available and activated already.
    Could you please let me know, How to fix this issue.
    NOTE: I have created this Function Module with Export parameter as OUTPUT and DATS Associated type. In the Source code I have written as OUTPUT = SY-DATUM - 1.
    Edited by: jayaprakash j on Jul 28, 2011 2:30 PM

    Hi All,
    I got the solution.
    The code which i had written in the FM is wrong.
    OUTPUT = SY-DATUM - 1. // Wrong.
    The correct one is below :
    DATA: Temp TYPE SY-DATUM.
    Temp = SY-DATUM - 1.
    OUTPUT = Temp.
    And after that, in FM's Export tab, it should be Export parameter as OUTPUT and checked the "Pass value" check box.
    For the Physical File : <F=TEST>.txt.
    Here the FM which i created was FILENAME_EXIT_TEST.
    When I am calling the corresponding Logical file in the APD, It is working fine.
    Thanks for your inputs.
