Moving Files with certain File Name - powershell

Question

I wrote a script which detects a folder called Post within the subfolders of W:\SUS Test2 and moves CSV file which has "EMMain" in the filename. But the problem I have is the CSV files doesn't copy to the destination folder W:\SUS Test3 it copies it to W:\SUS Test2 folder.
$path = "W:\SUS Test2\"
$destination = "W:\SUS Test3\"
$fsw = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $path -Property #{
IncludeSubdirectories = $true
NotifyFilter = [IO.NotifyFilters]'DirectoryName
}
$createdLTC = Register-ObjectEvent $fsw -EventName Created -Action {
$item = Get-Item $eventArgs.FullPath
if ($item.Name -like "Post") {
Get-ChildItem $item -filter "*EMMain*" | Copy-Item -dest $destination
}
}

Answer 1

You are trying to access the $destination variable in a portion of code that it is not available in. The script block in your Register-OjbectEvent will not have access to this variable. Try declaring $destination in the script block directly.
$createdLTC = Register-ObjectEvent $fsw -EventName Created -Action {
$destination = "W:\SUS Test3\"
$item = Get-Item $eventArgs.FullPath
If ($item.Name -like "Post") {
Get-ChildItem $item -filter "*EMMain*" | Copy-Item -dest $destination
}
}
