I have a script that duplicates a Word doc template and renames each using a csv file with a list of names. What would be the equivalent code if instead of a csv file I use a text file?
Import-csv ‘.\individuals2.csv’ | foreach-object {
$newname = ‘2 ‘ + $_.name + '.docx’
Copy-item '.\template.docx' $newname
}
Thanks for your help, but I had a couple errors pop up when I tried this out. I don’t need to input anything in the code you provided, do I?
