Copy a list of files to a directory

Question

There is a folder that contains a lot of files. Only some of the files needs to be copied to a different folder. There is a list that contains the files that need to be copied.<

Answer 1

Try this as your foreach-loop. It creates the targetfolder AND the necessary subfolders before copying the file.

foreach ($itemToCopy in $imagesList)
{
    $targetPathAndFile =  $itemToCopy.Replace( $sourceFolderName , $targetFolderName )
    $targetfolder = Split-Path $targetPathAndFile -Parent

    #If destination folder doesn't exist
    if (!(Test-Path $targetfolder -PathType Container)) {
        #Create destination folder
        New-Item -Path $targetfolder -ItemType Directory -Force
    }

    Copy-Item -Path $itemToCopy -Destination   $targetPathAndFile 
}
