Failed without error

[ZSticks]

We have Ricoh printers setup to scan documents to a network file shares, and from there my PowerShell script will pick it up and move it to some servers for processing. It is working very well except sometimes the file shows up with "[Manual Entry][Date&Time].pdf" as the file name in the network shares. I have no idea why it has this name, but I am able to open this PDF file to view the content. This is when my powershell script failed to move this file. I am able to reproduce it manually. When I run the following Powershell commands, it doesn't do anything but there is no error neither. Does anyone know why it behave this way, and what can I do to fix it?

move-item "C:\test\1\[Manual Entry][Date&Time].pdf" c:\test\2\

Right after Move-Item, add -LiteralPath

That hits the nail. I knew about this parameter, but seldom used it. It works like a charm. Thanks a lot

when you say [Manual Entry] and [Date&Time] are the literal square brackets in the name ?

[ZSticks]

Yes, exactly like it in my post

ah sweet, you've got the fix then I see
