    I'm using the below code to get a list of all the directories within a path.  I need to either delete/add or change an item with the var.

    $dirs = 'C:\dir.txt'

$r = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\mydata" | ?{$_.PSIsContainer} |Select-Object Name -expandProperty Name

    This works great, however I have a folder called !Orig that I need to rename to just Orig, before sending the var out as a text file.

    Not sure how to accomplish this.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin, Please try this as well 

    Get-ChildItem -Path C:\mydata | ?{$_.PSIsContainer} |Select-Object Name -expandProperty Name | `
     foreach {$_.replace("!","")}

    It will remove ! mark from any file and from anywhere...

    Regards
