Powershell Script Issue (Help Please)

[rsaddul1]

Hello,

 

I am very new to Powershell.

 

I hope you can help with the below bit of code? For some reason, it does not show the two files copied successfully. Instead, it tells me all files did not copy ok. The error message is shown below:

 

copy : Illegal characters in path.At C:\Users\rsaddul1.318\Desktop\log.ps1:20 char:1+ copy $_.fullname $destination -Force -Recurse -errorAction silentlyCo ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ( [Copy-Item], ArgumentException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Comm ands.CopyItemCommand

 

 

My Script is below:

 

# Moves latest two files

Get-ChildItem 'C:\scripts' -File |Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending |Select-Object -Last 2 |Copy-Item -Destination 'C:\TEST' -Force

 

# Delete all Files in C:\temp older than 365 day(s)$Path = "C:\scripts"$Daysback = "-365"$CurrentDate = Get-Date$DatetoDelete = $CurrentDate.AddDays($Daysback)Get-ChildItem $Path | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $DatetoDelete } | Remove-Item -WhatIF

 

# Creates Log File$logProgress = 'C:\scripts\scriptlog.log'$source = 'C:\scripts\*.txt'$destination = 'C:\TEST\*.txt'get-childitem $source -recurse | foreach {copy $_.fullname $destination -Force -Recurse -errorAction silentlyContinueif($? -eq $false){echo "$($_.fullname) did not copy ok to $destination" | out-file -append $logProgress} else {write-output "$($_.fullname) copied OK to $destination" | out-file -append $logProgress}}
