Get-ChildItem directory only (not full path) on error output

Question

Hello,
I currently use the snippet below to check for folder permissions, it outputs a CSV file which details Category, Reason and TargetName. When I open my error.csv file I see the 3 columns being populated, but how can I get a 4th column with the directory name
as well? TargetName outputs the complete path to the folder, I want to also include the directory name in the CSV.
$Path = "C:\test"
$errors=@()
get-childitem -recurse $Path -ea silentlycontinue -ErrorVariable +errors | Out-Null
$errors | select -expand categoryinfo | select category,reason,targetname | export-csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter “,” .\error.csv
Any help would be appreciated. At this point I dont think getting the directory name only is feasible with my method. I've tried many exampled but cant seem to get it. As easy as it may sound.
Thank you.

Hi jrv,
I plugged in your suggestion as follows:
$Path = "C:\test"
$errors=@()
get-childitem $Path -recurse -ea silentlycontinue -ErrorVariable +errors | Out-Null
$errors | Select TargetObject
It works but I'm still receiving the full path to the directory. How can I get only the directory name?
You cannot use $errors.  It is owned by the system and will give you issues.
If you want a folder name from a full path just use Split-Path
I took the + out for a reason. It was not a mistake and I changed the name of the variable for a reason.  The custom error variable will fill with all errors and will be created new each time this is run. Try it without changing it incorrectly until
you understand what is happening.  Don't just blindly do things because it feels good or because you saw a friend do it.
$Path = 'C:\test'
get-childitem  $Path -recurse -ea silentlycontinue -ErrorVariable myerrors| Out-Null
$myerrors| %{Split-Path $_.TargetObject -leaf }
PowerShell is very easy If you take the time to learn it. If you just guess you will never learn.  Believe me you could never guess how it works short of a course in software engineering.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
