That still needs a correction:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42987902-1">Select-String -Path $source -Pattern $pattern  -List | Copy-Item -Path {$_.Path} -Destination $target -Verbose -WhatIf</code></pre>
<b>-List</b> is an optimization to only report the first match for each file. I didn' test whether it is optional or mandatory so files are copied only once.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a folder named Error Log with thousands of txt files being logged by a third party application. Its difficult to find a specific error from those files and proactively fix related issues timely. <br />
<br />
Can you help me with a powershell script which can search specific words from within those files in Error Log folder (e.g. '.' is missing or schema mismatch) and copy only those specific files to other folder named Status Errors? <br />
<br />
I can then check Status Errors folder every evening and fix any errors so as to avoid any issues start of next day?
