Recursive file search using PowerShell
I am searching for a file in all the folders.
Copyforbuild.bat is available in many places, and I would like to search recursively.
$File = "V:Myfolder***.CopyForbuild.bat"
How can I do it in PowerShell?
使用具有-Recurse开关的Get-ChildItem cmdlet：
Get-ChildItem -Path V:Myfolder -Filter CopyForbuild.bat -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force
I know the question is old, but I could not make a comment to Shay Levy's answer.
When searching folders where you might get an error based on security (eg C:Users ) use the following command:
Get-ChildItem -Path V:Myfolder -Filter CopyForbuild.bat -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force
I use this to find files and then have PowerShell display the entire path of the results:
dir -Path C:FolderName -Filter FileName.fileExtension -Recurse | %{$_.FullName}
You can always use the wildcard * in the FolderName and/or FileName.fileExtension. For example:
dir -Path C:Folder* -Filter File*.file* -Recurse | %{$_.FullName}
The above example will search any folder in the C: drive beginning with the word Folder . So if you have a Folder named FolderFoo and FolderBar PowerShell will show results from both of those folders.
Same goes for the file name and file extension. If you want to search for a file with a certain extension but don't know the name of the file you can use:
dir -Path C:FolderName -Filter *.fileExtension -Recurse | %{$_.FullName}
Or vise versa:
dir -Path C:FolderName -Filter FileName.* -Recurse | %{$_.FullName}
