With powershell, does a method exist in which I can compare the names of two folders and if a portion of the name matches, copy one to the other?
For example, I have two folders 'C:\Working' and 'C:\Production'. In 'C:\Production' there are a multitude of folders with different names i.e. 'C:\Production\H023C994' and 'C:\Production\H023C995', etc. Under 'C:\Working' there are a multitude of folders that correspond to these that are in this format 'C:\Working\H023C994-001' and 'C:\Working\H023C995-001'.
I need to look at the name in 'C:\Working' compare it to 'C:\Production' and if they match (the 'H023C994' part) copy the file from Working to Production. Right now I have a person doing this and it's projected to take close a month to go through these thousands of folders. Is there a ps command that can speed this up?
