Recursive file search using PowerShell

Question

I am searching for a file in all the folders.

Copyforbuild.bat is available in many places, and I would like to search recursively.

$Fil         


        

Answer 1

Filter using wildcards:

Get-ChildItem -Filter CopyForBuild* -Include *.bat,*.cmd -Exclude *.old.cmd,*.old.bat -Recurse

Filtering using a regular expression:

Get-ChildItem -Path "V:\Myfolder" -Recurse
| Where-Object { $_.Name -match '\ACopyForBuild\.[(bat)|(cmd)]\Z' }
