Powershell Get-ChildItem

some automation scripts are all about working with type of specific file or multiple file types .

how can we find specific files ,there’s a cmdlet will help us with that –

Get-ChildItem

lets say we would like to find in a folder only EXE files ..we’ll need to filter it by –

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Windows -Filter *.exe | Select Name

1	Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Windows -Filter *.exe \| Select Name

can you tell if there’s any difference with the Dir Command ?

try it ..

Dir -Path C:\Windows -Filter *.exe | Select Name

1	Dir -Path C:\Windows -Filter *.exe \| Select Name
