Path not found when using Move-Item - powershell

Question

I want to do to the following things:
do the listing of all the items in the directory
move the files according to their names into different location
Example: In my document folder I have various files. According to the file names, I will move them to different directory. I use the following script. But it is not working.
$allfiles = Get-ChildItem $home\documents
$count = 0
foreach($file in $allfiles)
{
if ($file.name -like "*Mama*")
{
move-item $file.name -Destination $home\documents\mom
$count++
}
elseif ($file.name -like "*Papa*")
{
move-item -destination $home\documents\Dad
$count++
}
elseif ($file.name -like "*bro")
{
Move-Item -Destination $home\documents\Brother
$count++
}
}
write-host "$count files been moved"
What I am doing wrong here?
My Error output is
move-item : Cannot find path 'C:\users\administrator\documents\Lecture3.txt' because it does not exist.
At line:6 char:10

Answer 1

Or you could make it even neater by using the pipe functionality in powershell. Like this, you don't have to specify with '-path' which file to move, but you can pass it on directly from the result of Get-ChildItem:
Get-ChildItem $home\documents | Foreach-Object {
$count = 0
if ($_.Name -like "*Mama*")
{
$_ | Move-Item -Destination $home\documents\mom
$count++
}
elseif ($_.Name -like "*Papa*")
{
$_ | Move-Item -Destination $home\documents\Dad
$count++
}
elseif ($_.Name -like "*bro")
{
$_ | Move-Item -Destination $home\documents\Brother
$count++
}
}
write-host "$count files been moved"

Answer 2

Try this -
$allfiles = Get-ChildItem $home\documents
$count = 0
foreach($file in $allfiles)
{
if ($file.name -like "*Mama*")
{
move-item -path $file -Destination $home\documents\mom
$count++
}
elseif ($file.name -like "*Papa*")
{
move-item -path $file -destination $home\documents\Dad
$count++
}
elseif ($file.name -like "*bro")
{
Move-Item -path $file -Destination $home\documents\Brother
$count++
}
}
write-host "$count files been moved"
You haven't specified the File Name at two occasions which is a mandatory parameter for move-item. And at one place you are trying to move the files using the Name parameter which is not an item(in literal sense). See if above works for you.
