I have some folder, the total of the folder is always different. Each folder has two file named as "ID" and "ID_DONE", for the file "ID_DONE" generate by other process. I want to remove file "ID" once "ID_DONE" generate to each folder.
I tried this, but I can not remove the "ID" file if I have more than one folder to check.
Anyone can help, please.
if(Test-Path -Path "$OpJob_Path\*\ID_DON"){
$Path_ID_DON = Get-ChildItem -Path "$OpJob_Path\*\ID_DON"
$Split = Split-Path -Path $Path_ID_DON
$Split
if(Test-Path -Path "$Split\ID")
{
Write-Host "Remove"
Remove-Item -Path "$Split\ID"
}
else{
Write-Host "Not Found"
}
}
else{
Write-Host "Continue..........."
}
Given that you're matching files across multiple directories with wildcard expression "$OpJob_Path\*\ID_DON", $Path_ID_DON will likely contain an array of files ([System.IO.FileSystem] items).
Therefore,
$Split = Split-Path -Path $Path_ID_DON
results in $Split containing an array of the parent-directory paths of the files stored in $Path_ID_DON.
If you want to remove a file named ID from all these directories, if present, use the following:
$Split | ForEach-Object {
$file = Join-Path $_ 'ID'
if (Test-Path $file) { Remove-Item $file -WhatIf }
}
-WhatIf previews the operation. Remove it once you're sure it will do what you want.
Something like this ?
Get-ChildItem "$OpJob_Path" -File -Filter "ID_DON" -Recurse | %{Remove-Item "$($_.DirectoryName)\ID" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}

Hi all reaching out because I've reached the limits of my powershell knowledge.
I have a directory that has over 200,000 files, I need to copy all files that have a partial match to the filename into folders that I have already created using this script
Set-Location "C:\Users\joshh\Documents\Testing Environment"
$Folders = Import-Csv "C:\Users\joshh\Documents\Weichert.csv"
ForEach ($Folder in $Folders) {
New-Item "myfilepathhere\$($Folder.folderName)" -type directory
}
UPDATED:
Here is a sample of the filenames:
TH-246-02050-LOL-SQ-ALT2.png
TH-246-02050-WHT-H.png
TH-247-02050-EMB-LOD.png
TH-246-02050-LOL-H-ALT2.png
TH-246-02050-LOL-SQ.png
TH-246-02050-LOL-SQ-ALT.png
TH-247-02050-EMB-LOD-ALT.png
TH-247-02050-EMB-LOL.png
TH-247-02050-EMB-LOL-ALT.png
TH-247-02050-LOD-H.png
Above is an example of what the filenames look like, I need to copy all files containing -EMB- and move them into folders in another directory that match the first 12 characters of that filename (ex. TH-247-02050)
UPDATED:
And if a folder doesn't exist create a folder with the first 12 characters of the filename.
Mind you the first 12 characters have many variants some start with RM, KW, etc.
This is what I have so far and what I know but I know the Move-Item portion isn't exactly what I want it to do
$source = "targetPath"
$destination = "targetPath2"
$embFiles = #(Get-ChildItem ${source}/*EMB* -File | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName)
foreach($file in $embFiles) {
if($file | Where-Object { $_ -clike "*EMB*" }){
Move-Item -Path $source -Destination $destination
}
}
Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Here is one way you could do it:
Get all files that contain -EMB- in their names: -Filter *-EMB-* -File.
Group all this files by everything before -EMB-, here we can use Group-Object -AsHashTable and a calculated expression using Regex.Match. See https://regex101.com/r/iOoBJS/1 for details.
Loop through the Keys of the hash table, each Key will be the Name Destination folder of the group of files (i.e.: TH-247-02050).
Join the destination path ($destinationPath2) with the name of the destination folder ($folder), here we can use Join-Path and check if this joined path exists, if it doesn't, create a new folder with New-Item.
Lastly, we can move all the files (the Values of each Key from the hash table) to their corresponding destination.
$source = "targetPath"
$destination = "targetPath2"
$map = Get-ChildItem $source -Filter *-EMB-* -File | Group-Object -AsHashTable -AsString {
[regex]::Match($_.BaseName, '(?i).+(?=-EMB-)').Value
}
foreach($folder in $map.Keys) {
$d = Join-Path $destination -ChildPath $folder
$d = New-Item $d -ItemType Directory -Force
# -WhatIf can be removed once you have checked the script is doing what you want
$map[$folder] | Move-Item -Destination $d -WhatIf -Verbose
}
-AsString is needed in Windows PowerShell due to a bug.
I have a directory of information that is separated into document numbers so each folder that contains documents starts with DOC-######-NameOfDocument. The thing I am trying to do is create a PowerShell script that will search a directory for any folders with a specified document number and then take the contents of that folder, move it up one level, and then delete the original folder (which should now be empty).
Below is the closest I have gotten to my intended result.
$Path = "filepath"
$Folders = Get-ChildItem -Filter "DOC-#####*" -Recurse -Name -Path $Path
$companyID = "######"
foreach ($Folder in $Folders){
$filepath = $Path + $Folder
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $filepath
$imagesourc = $filepath + $companyID
$imageDest = $filepath.Substring(0, $filepath.LastIndexOf('\'))
if (Test-Path -Path $imagesourc){
Copy-Item -Path $imagesourc -Destination $imageDest -Recurse
}
foreach ($File in $Files){
$Parent_Directory = Split-Path -Path $File.FullName
$Destination_Path = $filepath.Substring(0, $filepath.LastIndexOf('\'))
Copy-Item -Path $File.FullName -Destination $Destination_Path -Recurse
if ($null -eq (Get-ChildItem -Path $Parent_Directory)) {
}
}
Remove-Item $filepath -Recurse
}
This does what I need but for whatever reason I can't Devine, it will not work on .HTM files. Most of the files I am moving are .html and .htm files so I need to get it to work with .htm as well. The files with .HTM will not move and the folder won't be deleted either which is good at least.
Try using this:
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
$fileNumber = '1234'
$initialFolder = 'X:\path\to\folders'
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $initialFolder -Filter DOC-$fileNumber* -Force -Directory -Recurse
foreach($folder in $folders)
{
try
{
Move-Item $folder\* -Destination $folder.Parent.FullName
Remove-Item $folder
}
catch [System.IO.IOException]
{
#(
"$_".Trim()
"File FullName: {0}" -f $_.TargetObject
"Destination Folder: {0}" -f $folder.Parent.FullName
) | Out-String | Write-Warning
}
catch
{
Write-Warning $_
}
}
Important Notes:
Move-Item $folder\* will move all folder contents recursively. If there are folders inside $folder, those will also be moved too, if you want to target folders which only have files inside, an if condition should be added before this cmdlet.
Try {...} Catch {...} is there to handle file collision mainly, if a file with a same name already exists in the parent folder, it will let you know and it will not be moved nor will the folder be deleted.
-Filter DOC-$fileNumber* will capture all the folders named with the numbers in $fileNumber however, be careful because it may capture folders which you may not intent to remove.
Example: If you want to get all folders containing the number 1234 (DOC-12345-NameOfDocument, DOC-12346-NameOfDocument, ...) but you don't want to capture DOC-12347-NameOfDocument then you should fine tune the filter. Or you could add the -Exclude parameter.
-Force & -Directory to get hidden folders and to target only folders.
I have a a bunch of language folders present in a directory under E:\Data\ like hu-hu, de-de etc.. on the other hand i have a bunch of file names in G:\ that contain the part of folder name for e.g.
amd64.de-de_OCR.cab,amd64.handwriting.de-de.cab
I need to copy all matching file names based on the foldername
for e.g. de-de should copy all matching files in G:\ i.e. both amd64.de-de_OCR.cab,amd64.handwriting.de-de.cab
This is the code i have so far but it is not copying over the files, and i am not sure how to proceed next, any help is appreciated.
$listfoldername = Get-ChildItem -Path "E:\Data" -Recurse -Directory -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name
$destfolder = Get-ChildItem -Path "E:\Data" -Recurse -Directory -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object FullName
$filename = Get-ChildItem -file G:\
if($filename -like $listfoldername)
{
Copy-Item -Path $filename -Destination $destfolder
}
There's a few issues with your code
The main issue with your code is that you are trying to use the -like operator to compare two objects (your object containing the directories you wish to move files to, and the object containing the files.
What you need to do is loop through each file and directory, one by one, to determine if the directory name (e.g. "hu-hu" is found in the filename (e.g. amd64.hu-hu_OCR.cab)
You'll want to use the wildcard indicator "*" with the -like operator (e.g. "*hu-hu*")
This below code snippet should do the trick. I tested using the file and folder names you've provided.
"G:" contains the folders:
de-de
hu-hu
us-us (note, I added this to make sure the code did not match this directory)
"E:\Data" contains the files
amd64.de-de_OCR.cab
amd64.handwriting.de-de.cab
amd64.handwritinghu-hu.cab
amd64.hu-hu_OCR.cab
$FileDirectory = "G:" # Change to "G:\", the trailing slash breaks syntax highlight on SO
$DataDirectory = "E:\Data"
$listfoldername = Get-ChildItem -Path "$DataDirectory" -Recurse -Directory -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name
$filename = Get-ChildItem -file "$FileDirectory"
#Loop through each file one at a time
foreach ($file in $filename) {
# Then, loop through each folder one at a time
foreach ($folder in $listfoldername) {
# Set the current filename and listfoldername to variables for later -like operator
$FileString = $file.Name
$FolderString = $folder.Name
# If the current file "is like" the current folder name
if($FileString -like "*$FolderString*")
{
# Set the name of the current folder to a variable
$DataFolder = $folder.Name
Copy-Item -Path "$FileDirectory\$FileString" -Destination "$DataDirectory\$DataFolder"
} else {
Write-Output ("$FolderString pattern not found in $FileString")
}
}
}
I think you should start off by getting a list of possible language target folders. Then loop over the path where the files are, filtering their names to have at least the dash in it and next test if any of the language target folders matches the filename.
Something like this:
$langFolder = 'E:\Data'
$fileFolder = 'G:\' #'# dummy comment to fix syntax highlighting in SO
# get a list of the language folders
# if the languages folder has multiple subdirectories to include, add -Recurse here
$targetFolders = Get-ChildItem -Path $langFolder -Directory
# get a list of FileInfo objects for the files in the G:\ path
# if you need to search subdirectories aswell, add -Recurse here
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $fileFolder -File -Filter '*-*.*'
foreach($file in $files) {
# check if a language name matches the file name
foreach($folder in $targetFolders) {
if ($file.BaseName -like "*$($folder.Name)*") {
# we have found a matching language target directory
$file | Copy-Item -Destination $folder.FullName
break # exit this folder foreach loop and get on with the next file
}
}
}
P.S. If all the files are .cab files you could speed up by setting the Filter to '*-*.cab' in line $files = Get-ChildItem ...
I have used Advanced Renamer to rename all my photos by date, so they all have names such as:
2017-Oct-14_8;39_kyd.jpg
Where "8;39" is the time and "kyd" is a string of three random characters to reduce eliminate duplicate names. I would like to write a powershell script to sort them all into folders such as:
C:\Pictures\2017\Oct
Where the first directory would be the year and the second directory would be the month. If a photo does not have date taken metadata, it's name would be:
"--_;_kyd.jpg"
and I would like to sort it into a "MANUAL_SORT" folder located is C:\Pictures. I am trying to use powershell to do this and this is what I have so far:
$SourceFolder = 'C:\Pictures\Test'
$DestinationFolder = 'C:\Pictures\Test_Output'
Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceFolder -Filter *.jpg | ForEach-Object
{
$filename = $_.Name.Substring(0,7);
if ($filename.Substring(0,3) = "--_;")
{
Move-Item -Path $SourceFolder -Destination "$DestinationFolder\MAUNAL_SORT"
}
else
{
$Year = $filename.Substring(0,3)
$Month = $filename.Substring(5,7)
Move-Item -Path $SourceFolder -Destination $DestinationFolder\$Year\$Month
}
}
But I can't figure out how to use the ForEach-Object command to cycle through each picture. Can anyone suggest a method to accomplish this? Thank you!
It looks like you're using Move-Item incorrectly. Use $_.FullName as the argument to the -Path parameter. As written, you're repeatedly trying to move the entire source folder into the destination.
Your string comparison operations are wrong. Use -eq.
Your substring calls are getting one too few characters. The parameters are index and count. Index is zero-based, of course, but count is the actual number of characters you want.
Also, the $filename variable is only accomplishing an extra call to Substring(), it's not useful in the rest of the script.
gci $SourceFolder -Filter *.jpg | foreach {
$YYYY = $_.Name.Substring(0,4)
if ($YYYY -eq '--_;') {
mv $_.FullName $DestinationFolder\MANUAL_SORT\
} else {
$MM = $_.Name.Substring(5,3)
mv $_.FullName $DestinationFolder\$YYYY\$MM\
}
}
A couple of issues:
substring of name while retrieving filename, removed that code
if condition comparison - it should be '-eq'
Also please verify folder exists or not added #TODO
Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceFolder -Filter *.jpg | ForEach-Object {
$filename = $_.Name;
if ($filename.Substring(0,3) -eq "--_")
{
Move-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination "$DestinationFolder\MAUNAL_SORT\"
}
else
{
$Year = $filename.Substring(0,3)
$Month = $filename.Substring(5,7)
#TODO: test path if directory exists else create it
Move-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination $DestinationFolder\$Year\$Month
}
}
I've finally have given up googling and come here out of desperation. Go easy on me I'm fairly new to Powershell.
So, the objective of the code below was to first look through the source folder, then read through each .zip file and move to the directory specified by the value in the hashtable. Unfortunately, this is not how they want it to work anymore.
Now I need to retain the parent folder from source: for example "DAL" and then create the proceeding folders based on the file names and finally move each .zip to its file specified folder. Also, it needs to go through each folder under source which will be at least 20 other folders with a unique 3 character names.
$srcRoot = "C:\Cloud\source\dal"
$dstRoot = "C:\Cloud\Destination"
##$map = #{}; dir -recurse | ? { !$_.psiscontainer} | % { ##$map.add($_.name,$_.PSChildName) }
# DAT and DEV will have to be excluded from folder creation
$map = {
#AEODDAT_201901 = "AEOD\2019\01"
#AEOMDEV_201902 = "AEOM\2019\01"
#AEOYDAT_201902 = "AEOY\2019\01"
}
$fileList = Get-ChildItem -Path $srcRoot -Filter "*.zip*" -File -Force -Recurse
foreach ($file in $fileList)
{
#Go through each file up to mapped string
$key = $file.BaseName.Substring(0,14)
if ($key -in $map.Keys)
{
$fileName = $file.Name
$dstDir = Join-Path -Path $dstRoot -ChildPath $map[$key]
#create direcotory if not in path
if (-not (Test-Path -Path $dstDir))
{
mkdir -Path $dstDir
}
Write-Verbose "Moving $($file.FullName)"
if (Test-Path -Path (Join-Path -Path $dstDir -ChildPath $fileName))
{
#Write error if name exists
Write-Error -Message "File $fileName already exists at $dstDir"
#move path
} else {
Move-Item -Path $($file.FullName) -Destination $dstDir
}
}
}
So C:\Cloud\source\DAL\AEODDAT20190101.zip should create folders in C:\Cloud\Destination\DAL\AEOD\2019\01\AEODDAT20190101.zip would be my desired output.
Welcome, Matt! (no pun intended) One of the habits I have in similar situations with destination folders is to Set-Location $dstRoot and create folders from the relative path. You can execute New-Item with the relative path and the syntax is simpler. For example, your If statement could look like this and it would work the same way (with a slightly different error message):
if ($key -in $map.Keys){
Set-Location $dstRoot
New-Item -ItemType Directory $map[$key] -ErrorAction Ignore #won't raise an error if it exists
Write-Verbose "Moving $($file.FullName)"
#this will raise an error if the file already exists, unless you specify -Force
Move-Item "$($file.FullName)" $map[$key]
}
EDIT: Found 2 issues.
$map is a Hashtable literal that should be preceded with #:
$map = #{
AEODDAT20190101 = "AEOD\2019\01"
You were missing the last character of the base file name by taking only the first 14 characters. AEODDAT2019010 didn't match AEODDAT20190101. This should fix it:
$key = $file.BaseName.Substring(0,15)
