Question:
I have a root directory that consists of many folders and sub folders. I need to check whether a particular file like *.sln or *.designer.vb exists in the folders or subfolders and output the result in a text file.
For Eg:
|
1 2 3 |
$root = "C:\Root\" $FileType = ".sln",".designer.vb" |
the text file will have result somewhat like below:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
.sln ---> 2 files .sln files path ----> c:\Root\Application1\subfolder1\Test.sln c:\Root\Application2\subfolder1\Test2.sln |
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Ashish
Answer:
Try this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
function Get-ExtensionCount { param( $Root = "C:\Root\", $FileType = @(".sln", ".designer.vb"), $Outfile = "C:\Root\rootext.txt" ) $output = @() Foreach ($type in $FileType) { $files = Get-ChildItem $Root -Filter *$type -Recurse | ? { !$_.PSIsContainer } $output += "$type ---> $($files.Count) files" foreach ($file in $files) { $output += $file.FullName } } $output | Set-Content $Outfile } |
I turned it into a function with your values as default parameter-values. Call it by using
|
1 2 |
Get-ExtensionCount #for default values |
Or
|
1 2 |
Get-ExtensionCount -Root "d:\test" -FileType ".txt", ".bmp" -Outfile "D:\output.txt" |
Output saved to the file ex:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
.txt ---> 3 files D:\Test\as.txt D:\Test\ddddd.txt D:\Test\sss.txt .bmp ---> 2 files D:\Test\dsadsa.bmp D:\Test\New Bitmap Image.bmp |
To get the all the filecounts at the start, try:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
function Get-ExtensionCount { param( $Root = "C:\Root\", $FileType = @(".sln", ".designer.vb"), $Outfile = "C:\Root\rootext.txt" ) #Filecount per type $header = @() #All the filepaths $filelist = @() Foreach ($type in $FileType) { $files = Get-ChildItem $Root -Filter *$type -Recurse | ? { !$_.PSIsContainer } $header += "$type ---> $($files.Count) files" foreach ($file in $files) { $filelist += $file.FullName } } #Collect to single output $output = @($header, $filelist) $output | Set-Content $Outfile } |
