All,
Hit send too soon - I saw a couple of other things:
Some of the directories have spaces in them, which cause an error when
trying to work their subdirectories, like so:
K:\Engineering\x1\y 1\CurrentVersions
measure-object : The property "length" cannot be found in the input
for any objects.
At line:3 char:151
+ ... ct -first 32 | measure-object -property length –sum)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:)
[Measure-Object], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
GenericMeasurePropertyNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MeasureObjectCommand
So, obviously, this has to be dealt with as well.
My problem is that when I used:
$CurrentVersions = Get-ChildItem K:\Engdrops -directory -filter
CurrentVersions -recurse
instead of
$CurrentVersions = Get-ChildItem K:\Engdrops -directory -filter
CurrentVersions -recurse | select -expand fullname
and tried to work with that in the rest of the script, I couldn't get
the $CurrentVersion.fullname into the output. Utterly failed at that.
Thanks again,
Kurt
