Hello,
I am trying to write one of my first PS scripts that will search for specified files (5 of them) in given path.
I tried below solution but can’t concatenate $Path parameter with the name of the file with wildcards (“$Pathmarket ”).
So first of my questions is:
How to concatenate string parameter with another string with wildcards?
What would be better solution to search for those files?
$Path = "C:\Users\lucas\Documents\Reporting system\test\"
For ($i=1;$i -le 5;$i++){
If ($i -eq 1){
$Test = Test-Path -path "$Path*market*" -Include *.txt
Write-Host $Test "market"
}
ElseIf ($i -eq 2) {
$Test = Test-Path -path "'$Path*man_rep*" -Include *.txt
Write-Host $Test "man_rep"
}
ElseIf ($i -eq 3) {
$Test = Test-Path -path "$Path*noshow_market_split*" -Include *.txt
Write-Host $Test "noshow"
}
ElseIf ($i -eq 4) {
$Test = Test-Path -path "$Path*market_gross*" -Include *.txt
Write-Host $Test "marekt_gross"
}
Else {
$Test = Test-Path -path "$Paths*revenue*" -Include *.txt
Write-Host $Test "revenue"
}
}
Regards

I don’t quite understand your issue as posted. I tested “your concatenation” with wildcards and didn’t have any problem, it worked. I added -recurse because you used $Test as a -path, therefor the presumption that the files of interest will be below the top folder string $Test.
$Path = 'c:\windows'$Test = “$Pathsys ”Get-Childitem -path $Test -recurse -include *.dll
