  • 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?

    Cannot convert value "VALUE" to type "System.Int32". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format."
    At line:4 char:55
    + ... py-Item -Path .\template.docx -Destination ".\$(2 + $line + '.docs')"
    +                                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [], RuntimeException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidCastFromStringToInteger
    
    Copy-Item : Cannot overwrite the item FILENAME with itself.

  • So it sort of worked in that it outputed a bunch of files with the names but with blank icons and not the Adobe icons. Powershell also had an error for each list item that looked like the following:

    Rename-Item : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'NewName' because it is an empty string.
    At line:1 char:86
    + ... ads\individuals.txt"; $i=0; dir | % { ren $_ "$($names[$i])"; $i++ }
    +                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Rename-Item], ParameterBindingValidationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorEmptyStringNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Rena
       meItemCommand
    

    Maybe the command needs ‘.pdf’ somewhere?
