How can I copy files with timestamps between 2 times and preserve the directory structure
- by brushwood
I want to copy files that have timestamps from the time the script begins to run and a hour previous. So I am basically trying to emulate robocopy but with minage and maxage going down to the exact time rather than days. So far I have this in powershell:
$now = Get-Date
$previousHour = $now.AddHours(-1)
"Copying files from $previousHour to $now"
function DoCopy ($source, $destination)
{
$fileList = gci $source -Recurse
foreach ($file in $fileList)
{
if($file.LastWriteTime -lt $now -and $file.LastWriteTime -gt $previousHour)
{
#Do the copy
}
}
}
DoCopy "C:\test" "C:\test2"
but if I try to do the copy like that, it copies all the files directly into the destination folder rather than the subfolders.enter code here
