I am searching for a file in all the folders.
Copyforbuild.bat is available in many places, and I would like to search recursively.
$File = "V:\Myfolder\**\*.CopyForbuild.bat" How can I do it in PowerShell?

Use dir Cmdlet With -Recurse Switch in PowerShell to Search Files Recursively. The dir cmdlet is an alias for the Get-ChildItem . It also displays a list of files and directories on the specific location.
How to Find a File and Check If It Exists with Powershell or Netwrix Auditor. Open the PowerShell ISE → Create a new script using the following code. In the $filename variable, specify a string that might indicate the file contains sensitive data, and for $searchinfolder, specify the directory or folder to search in.
Recursive functions, at their simplest, are functions that call themselves. These types of functions are used in the example above to enumerate a hierarchical structure like AD groups inside of other AD groups with user accounts inside of those.
So you can think of Select-String as PowerShell version of Grep. The Select-String cmdlet searches for text and text patterns in input strings and files. You can use Select-String similar to grep in UNIX or findstr in Windows.
Use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet with the -Recurse switch:
Get-ChildItem -Path V:\Myfolder -Filter CopyForbuild.bat -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
