Though I do appreciate your time, Ralston, I don't believe I have the energy to learn a new script at this point.
OR, find a batch download program with a history, so I can see which new filename belongs to which id number. I would simply like to download, keeping that number as part of the filename. Omg, that sounds like more work than I'm prepared for at the moment.įiles are online in the following format:Įach id is a random five-digit number. An outline to start with.Īs you work on each step things will come together and you will end up with a working, customized script that you know and understand.Īnd can modify or reuse as circumstances warrant. Use # to remark in and identify the necessary steps within your script. Get each part to work, get them to work together, get it functional, then all can be tided up and further documented within the script. You will need to make all consistent with your environment and needs. Http /https /The preceding links are more for reference purposes than actual use per se. Really best to create a test environment where, if things go wrong, you simple delete all, copy in the test files again, correct/change your script and try again. Get the first part to work and then the second part, and so forth. In any case, if the script is not a perfect match then make your modifications and test. You might be lucky and find a script that covers most of it. Then go online to find Powershell scripts that address each step.
Https //en-us/powershell/reference/5.1//foreach-object Probably will require a loop to process each downloaded file. Then newly named files can be sorted and presented in the desired order.
Rename the file(s) by concatenting the URL with the existing filename. The flow, if I understand the requirements correctly, would be similar to the following:Ĭreate a constant (string) holding the URL.ĭownload/copy the file(s) to the target folder. What I will suggest is that you list out step-by-step what needs to be done. And certainly would not use you (nor anyone for that matter) as a guinea pig. Feel I could cobble some script together but would not trust it to be particularily elegant or efficient. However (full disclosure) I still consider myself a novice Powershell user.
And I do believe that Powershell is a very viable option.
