This PowerShell script assists with managing volumes of documents by extracting information from file names at an initial stage. It is designed for situations where document collections are too small to justify the costs of full e-discovery tools or data rooms, but still require structured indexing. For example, the script scans filenames for keywords and dates within a root folder to generate draft lists of documents, which would be very helpful for litigation matters. It also produces “sub-lists” filtered by keywords. The script runs locally on a computer, maintaining confidentiality of client documents. Key features: - Extracts dates and reference numbers from filenames - Identifies transcripts with embedded timestamps - Generates CSV index files for: - All documents - Files containing specified keywords - Transcript files with date-time stamps - Produces a file count summary This makes it easier to manage medium-sized document collections that aren’t large enough to engage e-discovery vendors.
