Create new folder with current date and time stamp using powershell

Create new folder with current date and time stamp

We can create new folders or files  with current time stamp as folder\file name using PowerShell which can be included into script.

Example 1: Creating file with current time & date

$Time = (Get-Date).tostring("dd-MM-yyyy-hh-mm-ss")           
New-Item -itemType File -Path c:\scripts -Name ($FileName + ".log")

Example 2: Creating folder with current time & date

$date= ((Get-Date).ToString('dd MMM yyyy hh_mm_ss' ))
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "D:\Powershell\folder 1\$date"

Example 3 : Other formats :

#Other format1 - Date as folder name & time as subfolder name
$date= ((Get-Date).ToString('dd MMM yyyy' ))
$time= ((Get-Date).ToString('hh mm ss' ))
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "D:\Powershell\folder 1\$date\$time"

#Another method2 - using "Name" parameter
$date= ((Get-Date).ToString('dd MM yy hh_mm_ss' )) New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "D:\Powershell\folder 1\sun " -name $date

#Another method - using "md" command
$date= ((Get-Date).ToString('dd MM yy hh_mm_ss' ))
md "D:\Powershell\folder\sun\$date"

Example 4 : To create file & folder with timestamp :

#Date as folder and time as file
$date = ((Get-Date).tostring("dd-MM-yyyy")) 
$time = ((Get-Date).tostring("hh-mm-ss"))
New-Item -itemType Directory -Path D:\powershell\ -Name $date 
New-Item -itemType File -Path D:\powershell\$date -Name ($time + ".txt")

Example 5: To create folder with current time only :

$date= ((Get-Date).ToString('hh mm ss' ))
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "D:\Powershell\folder 1\$date"
