powershell - File location for CSV file

Question

I have a string and I keep getting errors trying to place the location to save the file. I need all the security logs to be saved at C:logs but it keeps failing when I try to place it somewhere

Export-Csv ('security-log-{0}.csv' -f ([DateTime]::Now).ToString("MM-dd-yyyy"))

Answer 1

?It keeps failing? is less than helpful as a problem description. However, if you require the logs to be saved in a specific folder it would help to include that folder in the path you're writing to:

Export-Csv ('C:logssecurity-log-{0}.csv' -f ([DateTime]::Now).ToString("MM-dd-yyyy"))

Then you can also simplify a bit:

Export-Csv ('security-log-{0:MM-dd-yyyy}.csv' -f Get-Date)
