PowerShell copy fails without warning
- by boink
Howdy, am trying to copy a file from IE cache to somewhere else. This works on w7, but not Vista Ultimate.
In short:
copy-item $f -Destination "$targetDir" -force
(I also tried $f.fullname)
The full script:
$targetDir = "C:\temp"
$ieCache=(get-itemproperty "hkcu:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders").cache
$minSize = 5mb
Write-Host "minSize:" $minSize
Add-Content -Encoding Unicode -Path $targetDir"\log.txt" -Value (get-Date)
Set-Location $ieCache
#\Low\Content.IE5 for protected mode
#\content.ie5 for unprotected
$a = Get-Location
foreach ($f in
(get-childitem -Recurse -Force -Exclude *.dat, *.tmp | where {$_.length -gt $minSize})
)
{
Write-Host (get-Date) $f.Name $f.length
Add-Content -Encoding Unicode -Path $targetDir"\log.txt" -Value $f.name, $f.length
copy-item $f -Destination "$targetDir" -force
}
End of wisdom. Please help!
