Thanks for the second set of eyes. That at least confirmed that it had my script write, indicating that it had to be a flaw with the data.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to write a script that pulls the name of a sub-directory from a file and then moves into that sub folder. &nbsp;The idea being that the file contents can change and thus the sub directory can change as well:<br />
<br />
Here is a toned down example of what I am doing but it will give a good enough idea that i think and responses will get me my answer<br />
<br />
Set-Location C:\temp<br />
$folder = get-content c:\temp\folder.txt (folder.txt will have only the name of a sub folder in this directory)<br />
<br />
What I am trying to then accomplish is something along the lines of:<br />
Set-Location c:\temp\$folder<br />
<br />
I have not been able to figure out exactly what I need to do this. &nbsp;I've tried Tee-Object, Invoke-Command, invoke Item, get-childItem, etc... all to no avail.<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated!
