I have a bunch of directories
C:\\RI1
C:\\RI2
C:\\RI3
... C:\\RI21
How can I check if they are all empty? I want to go further into the script only if one or more of them have files. If not, I want to exit. I tried this but it is searching for folder names and is giving me 21 as the answer
$directoryInfo = Get-ChildItem C:\RI* | Measure-Object
$directoryInfo.count
if ($directoryInfo.count -eq 0)
{
Write-host "Empty"
}
else
{
Write-host "Not Empty"
}
When you run Get-ChildItem C:\\RI*
you get all the child items in C:\\ and filter the results with items which begin with "RI". You get the answer 21 since there are 21 folders in C:\\ that starts with "RI".
I suggest that you run through all the folders using a foreach
loop.
$folders = @("RI1", "RI2", "RI3")
foreach ($folder in $folders)
{
$path = "C:\$folder"
$directoryInfo = Get-ChildItem $path
if ($directoryInfo.count -eq 0)
{
Write-Host "Empty"
}
else
{
Write-Host "Not Empty"
}
}
