Duplicate and rename by increment of 1

To duplicate a file and rename it with an increment of 1 using PowerShell, you can use the following script:

powershellCopy code
$filePath = "C:\Path\to\your\file.ext"



# Determine the new file name

$fileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($filePath)

$extension = [System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($filePath)

$newFileName = $fileName + "_1" + $extension



# Determine the new file path

$folderPath = [System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($filePath)

$newFilePath = Join-Path -Path $folderPath -ChildPath $newFileName



# Copy the file to the new path

Copy-Item -Path $filePath -Destination $newFilePath



Write-Host "File duplicated and renamed."

Make sure to replace "C:\Path\to\your\file.ext" with the actual path to your file. The script performs the following steps:

1. Sets the $filePath variable to the path of the file you want to duplicate and rename.
2. Uses the GetFileNameWithoutExtension method to extract the file name without the extension from the original file path.
3. Uses the GetExtension method to extract the file extension from the original file path.
4. Constructs the new file name by appending "_1" to the original file name and adding the original file extension.
5. Determines the folder path of the original file using the GetDirectoryName method.
6. Constructs the new file path by combining the folder path and the new file name using the Join-Path cmdlet.
7. Copies the original file to the new file path using the Copy-Item cmdlet.
8. Displays a completion message.

When you execute the script, it will duplicate the file, rename it with an increment of 1, and save it in the same folder as the original file. The new file will have a name in the format "originalFileName_1.extension".
