Renaming and saving text files based on its content

PowerShell Help
1

Hi,
I’ve got hundreds of .html-Files of a Forum and I want to rename and save them the following way. Each File consists, among many other lines, of the following line:

<td align="left" valign="middle" class="nav" width="100%"><span class="nav"><a href="index.php?sid=a6ddafec8f3ed8a0a7cf4f8bf8273cff" class="nav">ONE</a><a href="./index.php" class="nav">TWO</a>&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="./viewforum.php" class="nav">THREE</a><a href="./viewtopic.php" class="nav">FOUR</a></span></td>

My goals: (THREE, FOUR are just a placeholders here and different in each file)

  1. Rename each file to “FOUR.html”
  2. save the file in directory: “Forum/THREE”

How is this possible in a smart way using PowerShell on Windows 10?
Thank you very much!
