How to Convert a CSV to TXT in PowerShell

Microsoft Windows PowerShell is a task automation system that provides a command-line interface and a specialized script language. PowerShell may be used for file-level operations from a DOS-like command prompt. Because a CSV file is an ASCII file, and so is the text (TXT) file format, there is no need to convert the file. Simply changing the file extension using the "Rename-Item" cmdlet in PowerShell will change the CSV file to a TXT file.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open PowerShell to show the command prompt.

    • 2

      Type the following command where "file.csv" is the name of the original file.

      Rename-Item file.csv file.txt

    • 3

      Press the "Enter" key. The command is executed and the file extension is renamed from CSV to TXT, and the file is "converted" to a text file in PowerShell.
