Look inside
You’ve recently been hired by RetroToy, an online retailer that sells replacement parts to hobbyists who restore out-of-production toys and games. RetroToy’s business is steadily growing, and so is its collection of product images. Your task is to ease the process of finding images by standardizing the naming convention. As an IT professional, you know PowerShell is a powerful language for automating repetitive IT tasks, and you decide it’s the perfect tool for this project. You’ll set up your development environment by installing Visual Studio Code, an IDE with a PowerShell extension. You’ll make this hefty project more manageable by breaking it into smaller tasks. To automate the process of renaming the large inventory of product images, you’ll write PowerShell code that takes advantage of the pattern-matching ability of regular expressions.
This project is for Windows only.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
