I would like to print all files of a directory which contain a specific string multiple times in their name (not in the file itself). Is there a way to do this with Powershell?
Edit:
This is what I have so far:
Get-ChildItem -Path "path" -Recurse -Filter *string*
With this I get all the files which contain that string at least once, but I only need the ones where it occures twice or more.
I only have this:
Get-ChildItem -Path "path" -Recurse -Filter *string*
Great!
Now all you need to do is repeat the word:
Get-ChildItem -Path "path" -Recurse -Filter *string*string*
If the substring in question has spaces, you'll need to quote the string:
Get-ChildItem -Path "path" -Recurse -Filter '*looking for this*looking for this*'
If the string contains wildcard character literals (like [
or ]
), you can escape it like this:
$escapedString = [wildcardpattern]::Escape("string [ with special ] characters")
So the whole thing becomes:
$substring = "string we're [looking] for"
$searchTerm = [wildcardpattern]::Escape($substring)
Get-ChildItem -Path "path" -Recurse -Filter "*$searchTerm*$searchTerm*"
