- .SYNOPSIS
- Reads a file containing a list of filenames and removes leading spaces from each filename.
- .DESCRIPTION
- This script takes a text file as input, where each line in the file represents a filename.
- It reads each filename, removes any leading spaces, and then outputs the modified filename.
- This script does NOT rename the actual files on the file system; it only processes the strings
- read from the input file.
- .PARAMETER InputFile
- Specifies the path to the text file containing the list of filenames.
- .EXAMPLE
- .\Remove-LeadingSpacesFromFile.ps1 -InputFile "C:\Temp\filenames.txt"
- Reads the file "C:\Temp\filenames.txt" and displays the filenames with leading spaces removed.
- .NOTES
- - The input file should contain one filename per line.
- - This script only modifies the string representation of the filename read from the file.
- - It does not interact with the file system to rename any actual files.
