Check if a file exists or not in Windows PowerShell?

Question

I have this script which compares files in two areas of the disk and copies the latest file over the one with the older modified date.

$filestowatch=get-con         


        

Answer 1

Use Test-Path:

if (!(Test-Path $exactadminfile) -and !(Test-Path $userfile)) {
  Write-Warning "$userFile absent from both locations"
}

Placing the above code in your ForEach loop should do what you want
