check multiple files in folder and subfolders

Question

Hi all,

Is it possible to check for multiple files in folders and subfolders.
After the check do a copy.

I already made the copy part.

Get-Childitem "C:\Temp\*" -Include "test3.txt","test8.txt","test1.txt","test9.txt" -Recurse | foreach-object{Copy-Item -Path $_ -Destination "Q:\" -PassThru -recurse -Force}

I need help with the if part and how to use the test-path.

Answer 1

similar to this command" dir test.txt /s /p

Answer 2

Hi @Siu Yip ,

here we go:

$filename = "2.txt"  
$rootfolder = "./Junk"  
Get-ChildItem -Path $rootfolder -Directory -Recurse | ForEach-Object {  
    Write-Host "Checking folder $($_.FullName) for $filename" -ForegroundColor Yellow  
    if (Test-Path -Path "$($_.Fullname)/$filename" -PathType Leaf) {  
        Write-Host "File $filename exists in $($_.FullName)" -ForegroundColor Red  
    }  
    else { Write-Host "File $filename does not exist in $($_.FullName)" -ForegroundColor Blue }  
}
