I have a script that duplicates a Word doc template and renames each using a csv file with a list of names. What would be the equivalent code if instead of a csv file I use a text file?

Import-csv ‘.\individuals2.csv’ | foreach-object {
	$newname = ‘2 ‘ + $_.name + '.docx’
	Copy-item '.\template.docx' $newname
}

A csv file is a text file. Where the data in text form is in a specific form.

So your question doesn't really make sense. You're already using a text file, and you don't disclose what would be different.

Oh I see. I thought only .txt files are text files.

I was trying to adjust the code so that it uses a .txt file instead of a .csv file.
