How to use * in a powershell path with [ - powershell

Question

I need to copy images generated by software (HWMonitorPro). Folders and sub-folders of images cannot be modified (or I did not find how).
The images are stored in the following path:
C:\Users\hugo\Documents\DossierTest\logs\[JUN 13, 2022 - 11:06]\[LAPTOP-P15V]\[1280x960].
As you can see, a directory is created with each recording, with the date and time.
So I decided to use the following technique to be able to take the images of several captures at once:
$C = "C:\Users\hugo\Documents\DossierTest\logs"
copy-item $C'\*\`[LAPTOP-P15V`]\`[1280x960`]\789.txt' -Destination $C\test3
The line works with "[JUN 14, 2022 - 9:22]" instead of "*". This is what I get when I use the line show above:
PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Users\hugo\Documents\DossierTest\ScriptCC.ps1
Copy-Item : Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet. The specified wildcard character pattern is not valid: [LAPTOP-P15V
At C:\Users\hugo\Documents\DossierTest\ScriptCC.ps1:3 char:1
+ copy-item $C'\*\`[LAPTOP-P15V`]\`[1280x960`]\789.txt' -Destination $C ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Copy-Item], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetDynamicParametersException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand
If anyone could help me solve my problem that would be great!

As it seems there's something strange with paths containing square brackets, you can use CopyTo method to copy files instead of copy-item cmdlet.
E.g. like this:
$rootfolder = "E:\tmp\logs"
$destfolder = "E:\tmp\foldertest3"
$allfiles = gci $rootfolder -File -Recurse
foreach ($file in $allfiles) {
$newfile = $file.CopyTo("$destfolder\$($file.Name)")
}
This copies all files in subdirectories to single destination folder =
you'll need to deal with t further in case there are files with same name in different subfolders.
PS: Your $C is really a terrible variable name when dealing with file paths :-)
