Can the following be chained in some way? What would be the proper syntax?

get-childitem -Path .\*.txt | rename-item -NewName {{$_.name -replace "@{Name=",""} -and {$_.name -replace "}",""}}

Thank you

What exactly are you trying

Ultimately I am trying to join these two statements:

get-childitem -Path .\*.txt | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "@{Name=",""}
get-childitem -Path .\*.txt | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "}",""}

Why?

Your file actually has '@{Name=' and '}' in it?

get-childitem -Path .\*.txt |
       ForEach-Object{
           $newname= ($_.name -replace "???","???") -replace "}",""
          $_|rename-item -NewName $newname
}

The statement is removing unwanted test in the file name. The first line removes the "@{Name=" and the second removes the "}". Can both be done in one statement?

Yes, see jrv's code.

I'd recommend fixing whatever process screwed up your original files in the first place.
