Hi,
I am very very new to PowerShell and I have a problem using a command line that I found on the web. I actually used that command line a week ago to change similar parts of multiple file names. This is the command line:
Dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace "OLD-FILE-NAME-PART,"NEW-FILE-NAME-PART"}
On the screenshot, you can that I have some file names containing the word "Spud". I want to replace them quickly for "Bung" so I inputed:
Dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace "Spud,"Bung"}
But it doesn't work like the first I used it. Instead, I just skip a line and I am on a line only with "command begin" >> and I can hit Enter as much as I want or input another command but nothing happens (in the screenshot, I tried inputing dir, but nothing happens). I don't know if I'm stuck, or paused or whatever but when I hit ESC, the command line does back to the directory I was.
I'm using the arrows to move to the "OLD-FILE-NAME-PART,"NEW-FILE-NAME-PART" part of the command and change for Spud and Bung respectively if that helps. Thank's!
My command window looks like this (sorry no screenshot because my account is not verified?):
