I have folder Main that has many subfolders (AA,AB,AC,...,ZZ), every subfolder has 5 folders (1,2,3,4,5) in which one them can have .csv file.
I need a to write a script that would copy every .csv file into output folder and rename it based on in which subfolder it was found (AA.csv, BB.csv and so on) all I managed to do was get a list of csv files and create output folder.
New-Item C:\Output -force
$FileExtension = ".csv"
$Dir = get-childitem $FolderPath -recurse
$List = $Dir | where {$_.extension -eq $FileExtension}
$List | format-table Name
I suppose you can have multiple csv files into your dirs, i propose this solution
$Pathsource="C:\Temp\" # let the '\'
$Pathdestination="C:\Temp2\"
#remove -whatif if its ok
Get-ChildItem $Pathsource -Recurse -Filter "*.csv" | %{Copy-Item $_.FullName ($Pathdestination + $_.FullName.Replace($Pathsource , '').Replace('\', '_')) -WhatIf}

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.
Here what I'm trying to do and this is my second post on the same issue, I'm trying to compare 2 folders and copy the difference in the 3rd folder with the same folder structure recursively.
Here is the Powershell script which I receive from an another post (how to copy updated files to new folder and create directory as source if not exist?). This code does everything I need but I have one problem, with the -passthru arguement, it take the file which ever is new in the "folder 2" as well. What I need is what ever files are different in Folder1 from Folder2 alone to be copied over to Folder3. I tried and could not make it work. Any help will be great.
$newdir = "M:\Technical\foldercompare\folder1"
$olddir = "M:\Technical\foldercompare\folder2"
$diffdir = "M:\Technical\foldercompare\folder3"
#Get the list of files in oldFolder
$oldfiles = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path $olddir | Where-Object {-not ($_.PSIsContainer)}
#get the list of files in new folder
$newfiles = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path $newdir | Where-Object {-not ($_.PSIsContainer)}
Compare-Object $oldfiles $newfiles -Property LastWriteTime,Length -Passthru | sort LastWriteTime | foreach {
$fl = (($_.Fullname).ToString().Replace("$olddir","$diffdir")).Replace("$newdir","$diffdir")
$dir = Split-Path $fl
If (!(Test-Path $dir)){
mkdir $dir
}
copy-item $_.Fullname $fl
}
I have several zip files which have generated names like 21321421-12315-sad3fse-23434fg-ggfsd which doesn't help to identify the content of the zip.
I need a script, which unzips it and then looks for a pdf file with a partly-generated & static name eg asdawd-ersrfse-231-Formular2311.
After that it should create a folder with the name of the pdf file and unzip all zip-file content into this folder.
So far I only have to snippets that work after each other, but I'm still stuck.
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$CurrentLocation = get-location
$CurrentPath = $CurrentLocation.path
$Location = $shell.namespace($CurrentPath)
# Find all the Zip files and Count them
$ZipFiles = get-childitem -Path "C:\Install\NB\Teststart" *.zip
$ZipFiles.count | out-default
# Set the Index for unique folders
$Index = 1
# For every zip file in the folder
foreach ($ZipFile in $ZipFiles) {
# Get the full path to the zip file
$ZipFile.fullname | out-default
# Set the location and create a new folder to unzip the files into - Edit the line below to change the location to save files to
$NewLocation = "C:\Install\NB\Testfinal\$Index"
New-Item $NewLocation -type Directory
# Move the zip file to the new folder so that you know which was the original file (can be changed to Copy-Item if needed)
Copy-Item $ZipFile.fullname $NewLocation
# List up all of the zip files in the new folder
$NewZipFile = get-childitem $NewLocation *.zip
# Get the COMObjects required for the unzip process
$NewLocation = $shell.namespace($NewLocation)
$ZipFolder = $shell.namespace($NewZipFile.fullname)
# Copy the files to the new Folder
$NewLocation.copyhere($ZipFolder.items())
# Increase the Index to ensure that unique folders are made
$Index = $Index + 1
}
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Install\NB\Testfinal" -Include "*.pdf" -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
$oldFolder = $_.DirectoryName
# New Folder Name is .pdf Filename, excluding extension
$newFolder = $_.Name.Substring(0, $_.Name.Length - 4)
# Verify Not Already Same Name
Write-Host "Rename: $oldFolder To: $newFolder"
Rename-Item -NewName $newFolder -Path $oldFolder
}
Along the same lines as your own script, firstly extract the zips and then rename the extracted folder to the same as the pdf:
$SourceDir = 'C:\Install\NB\Teststart'
$ExtractDir = 'C:\Install\NB\Testfinal'
# Extract each zip to a folder with the same name as the zip file (BaseName)
Get-ChildItem (Join-Path $SourceDir *.zip) | foreach {
Expand-Archive $_.FullName -DestinationPath (Join-Path $ExtractDir $_.BaseName)
}
# Rename the PDF's parent folder to the same as the PDF
Get-ChildItem (Join-Path $ExtractDir *.pdf) -Recurse | foreach {
Rename-Item -Path $_.Directory.FullName -NewName $_.BaseName
}
This should do and it's much simpler than what you have. It relies on .NET 4.5 which you should have on your server already:
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.IO.Compression.FileSystem')
# Get all the zip files in the root of the script, change $PSScriptRoot accordingly
Get-ChildItem -Path $PSScriptRoot -Filter *.zip -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
# Open the archive for reading
$zip = [IO.Compression.ZipFile]::OpenRead($_.FullName)
# Find the name of the PD file from the archive entries
$archiveName = $zip.Entries | `
Where-Object { [System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($_.FullName) -eq '.pdf' } | `
Select-Object #{N = "BaseName"; E = {[System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($_.FullName)}} |
Select-Object -Expand BaseName
# Close the zip file
$zip.Dispose()
# Use the native Expand-Archive to unzip the archive
# Ammand $PSScriptRoot to the destination base path if needed
Expand-Archive -Path $_.FullName -DestinationPath (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot $archiveName)
}
I have 100 folders containing a psd file:
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameX\psd\logo.psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameY\psd\logo.psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameZ\psd\logo.psd
...
Each psd file contains a picture:'logo.psd'
I want to copy 'logo.psd' of 'filenameX', 'filenameY', 'filenameZ' located respectively in,
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameX\psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameY\psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\ET2013\filenameZ\psd
...
to another folder,
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\Logos\
and rename 'logo' file with 'logo_parentfoldername' this way: 'logo_filenameX','logo_filenameY', 'logo_filenameZ'.
End Result:
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\Logos\logo_filenameX.psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\Logos\logo_filenameY.psd
C:\Users\Harvey\Documents\Archive011112\TFG\SG\ET\Logos\logo_filenameZ.psd
....
Hope it's clear!
Something like this should do the trick.
You want to use Get-ChildItem with -Recurse to grab all those files within each subdirectory.
Get-ChildItem -Path $dir -Recurse
But filter your results to only those with the .psd extension.
|?{$_.Extension -eq ".psd"}
Then for each of those files get the name of the parent's parent directory.
$_.Directory.Parent.Name
And finally copy the file to our new file destination.
Copy-Item $_.FullName $copyto
So the end product looks something like this:
$dir = "C:\source\"
$destination = "C:\destination\"
Get-ChildItem -Path $dir -Recurse | ?{$_.Extension -eq ".psd"} | % {
$copyto = $destination + $_.Directory.Parent.Name + ".psd"
Copy-Item $_.FullName $copyto
}
I have 10K documents in a directory with this type of naming convention:
1050_14447_Letter Extension.pdf, 1333_14444_Letter.docx, etc...
I tried using this script to remove all characters before the 2nd underscore (including the 2nd underscore):
Get-ChildItem -Filter *.pdf | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '^[0-9_]+'}
This worked, but revealed there would be duplicate file names.
Wondering if there is some way a script can create a subfolder based on the filename (minus the extension)? So there would be 10K subfolders in my main folder. Each subfolder would just have the one file.
This should work. It creates a new folder for each item, then moves it, renaming it in the process.
gci | ? {!$_.PSIsContainer} | % {New-Item ".\$($_.BaseName)" -Type Directory; Move-Item $_ ".\$($_.BaseName)\$($_.Name -replace '^[0-9_]+')"}
Note that if there are two files with the same name, but different extensions, you'll see an error when trying to create the directory, but both files will wind up in the same folder.
Alternately, if you want something more readable to save in a script, this is functionally identical:
$files = Get-ChildItem | Where-Object {!$_.PSIsContainer}
foreach ($file in $files)
{
$pathName = ".\" + $file.BaseName
New-Item $pathName -Type Directory
$newFileName = $pathName + "\" + ($file.Name -replace '^[0-9_]+')
Move-Item $file $newFileName
}
