Copy files in subfolders
Hi,
I am trying to copy files in different subfolders with wildcards. I have tried two different ways but no luck. Any ideas? thanks
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\database\Combine" -include "*TOTAL.*" -Recurse | Copy-Item -Destination "C:\database\Combine\TOTAL"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Copy-Item -Path "C:\database\Combine\*TOTAL.*" -Destination "C:\database\Combine\TOTAL" -recurse -Force -Verbose

The issue is that you're copying into the directory that you're using as the source.
Use "C:\database\TOTAL" or any other folder not under "C:\database\Combine" as Destination.
