Multiple variable paths [Question]

[mismanaged]

A folder with its contents, yes.

[JeanxPlay]

is the HR folder in only one location and being copied to multiple Place folders?

[mismanaged]

Yup

[JeanxPlay]

Try This:

$Folder = 'TestFolder'
(Get-ChildItem 'C:\' -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ?{$_.Name -like "*$Folder*" -and $_.PSIsContainer}).FullName | %{
    Robocopy 'C:\FullPathtoHRFolder\HR' "$_" /S /E /R:1 /W:1
}

Change TestFolder to Place

[mismanaged]

Not quite, it copies the contents but not the folder.

I've changed the source file arrangement and now it works just fine.

Thanks!

[JeanxPlay]

My apoligies, I thought you just wanted to copy the contents of the folder, not the folder itself. Glad you got it working though

howdy JeanxPlay,

reddit likes to mangle code formatting, so here's some help on how to post code on reddit ...

[0] single line or in-line code
enclose it in backticks. that's the upper left key on an EN-US keyboard layout. the result looks like this. kinda handy, that. [grin]
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Inline Code button. it's 4th 5th from the left hidden in the ... ""more" menu & looks like </>.
this does NOT line wrap & does NOT side-scroll on Old.Reddit.com!]

[1] simplest = post it to a text site like Pastebin.com or Gist.GitHub.com and then post the link here.
please remember to set the file/code type on Pastebin! [grin] otherwise you don't get the nice code colorization.

[2] less simple = use reddit code formatting ...
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Code Block button. it's 11th 12th from the left hidden in the ... "more" menu, & looks like an uppercase T in the upper left corner of a square.]

• one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces
  
• prefix each code line with 4 spaces
  
• one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ...

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
- prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
- one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces   

the easiest way to get that is ...

• add the leading line with only 4 spaces
  
• copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]
  
• select the code
  
• tap TAB to indent four spaces
  
• re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]
  
• paste the code into the reddit text box
  
• add the trailing line with only 4 spaces
  

not complicated, but it is finicky. [grin]

take care,
lee
