When using the Force switch with the New-Item command to create a folder, and the folderĪlready exists, it won't overwrite or replace the folder. This command creates a new empty file C:\temp\New Folder\file.txt New-Item -Path 'C:\temp\New Folder\file.txt' -ItemType File This command creates a new folder C:\temp\New Folder: New-Item -Path 'C:\temp\New Folder' -ItemType Directory Than one type of item-for example, the FileSystem PowerShell provider distinguishes betweenĭirectories and files-you need to specify the item type. Script Host Scripting.FileSystem COM class to back up C:\boot.ini to C:\boot.bak: (New-Object -ComObject Scripting.FileSystemObject).CopyFile('C:\boot.ini', 'C:\boot.bak')Ĭreating new items works the same on all PowerShell providers. XCOPY, ROBOCOPY, and COM objects, suchĪs the Scripting.FileSystemObject, all work in PowerShell. You can still use other tools to perform file system copies. txt files containedĪnywhere in C:\data to C:\temp\text: Copy-Item -Filter *.txt -Path c:\data -Recurse -Destination C:\temp\text This command copies the folder C:\temp\test1 to the new folderĬ:\temp\DeleteMe recursively: Copy-Item C:\temp\test1 -Recurse C:\temp\DeleteMe This command works even when the destination is read-only.įolder copying works the same way. To overwrite a pre-existingĭestination, use the Force parameter: Copy-Item -Path C:\boot.ini -Destination C:\boot.bak -Force If the destination file already exists, the copy attempt fails. The following command backs up C:\boot.ini to C:\boot.bak: Copy-Item -Path C:\boot.ini -Destination C:\boot.bak ($_.LastWriteTime -gt '') -and ($_.Length -ge 1mb) -and ($_.Length -le 10mb)Ĭopying is done with Copy-Item. The following command finds all executables within the Program Files folder that were last modifiedĪfter Octoand that are neither smaller than 1 megabyte nor larger than 10 megabytes: Get-ChildItem -Path $env:ProgramFiles -Recurse -Include *.exe |
Other properties of items using Where-Object. You can perform complex filtering based on Parameters, but those are typically based only on name. Get-ChildItem can filter items with its Path, Filter, Include, and Exclude The following command lists everything on the C: drive: Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Force -Recurse To show items in subfolder, you need to specify the Recurse parameter. The command lists only the directly contained items, much like using the dir command in cmd.exe For example, this command displays the direct contents Parameter to display hidden or system items. You can get all items directly within a folder using Get-ChildItem. Listing all files and folders within a folder
