farismalaeb : Thanks for your input. Since i was using for daily scan in scheduled task .
So in the script could you please suggest to keep existing file and create a new file with respective date

@Surya2023 

Yes

sure you can use the following as a FilePath

-FilePath "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\$(get-date -Format "DD-MM-yyyy").txt"

@farismalaeb  : The output name is still not coming with date,month,year with time  its not coming .
please screenshot .
It should come like sfc_report_date.month.year.timestamp 

could you please assist me

Yes, it wont, My mistake.
the DD should be small letter
$(get-date -Format "dd-MM-yyyy")
the result looks like 28-07-2022

@farismalaeb 

Thank you !
now it's working fine.

One request i tried to print hours & mints also  like below 

$(get-date -Format "ddMMyyyy HH:mm:ss").txt"

 

but it is getting error , could you let me know how can i get output file with date month year  hours and mints and seconds as well , 

it is possible  to get the file like --> sfc_scanreport_28-07-2022-hours-mints-seconds

 

like that so that we can easily identify the file name .
