Powershell prevent recursive lookup of parent folder only search child folders
I have created a script which can find all files in a provided directory of a specified format. The script will recursivly search the folder structure for these files.
Write-host "Please enter source Dir:"
$soureDir = read-host
Write-Host "Format to look for with . :"
$format = read-host
#Write-host "Please enter output Dir:"
#$outDir = read-host
$Dir = get-childitem "$sourceDir" -recurse
$files = $Dir | where {$_.extension -eq "$format"}
$files | format-table name
The problem is that if i provide the path C:\scripts\files as my root search directory the script still searches through C:\scripts as well as C:\scripts\files\ which is all I wish the script to d开发者_运维问答o!
This is obviously a simple fix but I am unsure what I have coded wrong.
Thanks in advance, Craig
You have a typo in the variable name you're listing: $soureDir vs $sourceDir
Try this:
get-childitem $sourceDir -Filter $format -recurse | format-table name
