Powershell - Test-Path if a file exists within a folder

Hey Guys,
I'm unable to get this to work correctly. I'm trying to see which folders have a file within them with the word "preview".  If it does, then tell me it exists, if not, then it doesn't exist.
What am I missing?!? Ugh :(
Here is my code
$rootpath = "T:\Path1\Path2\*"
foreach ($f in Get-ChildItem $rootpath)
foreach ($i in Get-ChildItem $f)
if (Test-Path $i -include *preview*.jpg)
echo($i.name + " Preview Exists")
else
echo($i.name + " ***PREVIEW MISSING***")

this script is only 1/2 working.
I tested it with "t:\path1\path2\folder1\subfolder1, subfolder2, subfolder3 where preview1.jpg is n subfolder1"
But, "t:\path1\path2\folder2\subfolder1\preview2.jpg is ignored
foreach ($i in (Get-ChildItem $f |? {$_.psiscontainer))  should be
foreach ($i in (Get-ChildItem $f |? {$_.psiscontainer}))
$rootpath = "T:\Path1\Path2\*"
$results = @()
foreach ($f in Get-ChildItem $rootpath)
 foreach ($i in (Get-ChildItem $f |? {$_.psiscontainer))
 $result = "" | select File,PreviewStatus
 $result.file = $i.fullname
  if (Test-Path  ($i.fullname + "\*preview*.jpg"))
   echo($i.name + "           Preview Exists")
   $result.PreviewStatus = "Preview Exists"
  else
   echo($i.name + " ***PREVIEW MISSING***")
   $result.previewstatus = "Preview Missing"
$results += $result
$results | export-csv Preview_Status.csv -notype

  • How to test if a image file exists???

    Hi ppl,
    heres my problem...im using servlets and jsp and i only ever want to access the jsp file from a redirect in the servlet. Problem arises however if the user trys to access the jsp file directly in which case all the relative links on the page are no longer in the same context as if they were accessed via the servlet.
    i wanna have some kind of test on my jsp page which displays an error page if the user has access the page directly but im not sure the best way to go about this.
    i was thinkin about tryin to determine if an image file exists using a relative link...in which case if the relative links where off then it wouldnt.
    Any suggestions on the best way to do this...or if there might be a better way to test such a case?
    any advice much appreaciated.
    Mycall

    I would suggest moving all jsp's that you dont want the user to have direct access to under the WEB-INF directory. This way they would only be able to access it through your servlet.
    Hope this helps

  • Powershell Test-Path of HKEY_USERS

    Hello Folks,
    I'm attempting to write a script that will update a non logged in users NTUSER.dat registry setting.
    I load the hive with: REG load "hku\temp" c:\users\${username}\NTUSER.dat.  That occurs successfully, but when I attempt to do a test-path for a setting, that I know is there, it always returns false. For example:
    Test-Path "hku\temp\Software\Microsoft\Office"
    In fact, I do a test-path on my current HKU setting, that I copied and pasted from registry editor copy key name, and that as well says false. 
    Test-Path "HKEY_USERS\SID#\Software\Microsoft\Silverlight"
    Can someone please provide some guidance?  Thanks in advance!!

    PowerShell only sees the HKCU and HKLM hives. You cannot use Test-Path on other hives.
    HELP is your friend.  You should learn to use it first:
    Example:

  • Single Click to Download File - Auto Rename if Conflicting File Exists in Downloads Folder

    I am trying to migrate from Safari. However, one of THE most important features that I simply can't do without, is the one click "Download Linked File" right click contextual menu item. This together with the auto-rename file action if a name conflict exists within the downloads folder, to which you are saving the file.
    Is there a way to do this in FF? All I can locate is"Save Link As" and then you have to either click to save or manually rename the file if there is a conflict. This is a real pain - I am happy to allow duplicate filenames for certain files.
    Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction - needs to be an absolute one click solution from contextual menu via an add on or something.
    Thanks

    As I recall, DownThemAll is able to do this. You first have to configure it to rename files when a file with the same name already exists. Then you should be able to use the context menu option labeled “DTA OneClick!” or some such.

  • How to detact if a file exist in a folder

    How can I detact a file (a jpg or flv) exists in a folder?
    The script that I can think of so far is like this,
    var filename:String= "videos/vid test 0110.flv";
    if (filename){
    trace("well done");
    }else{
    trace("sorry");
    Please help me on this problem if you know....
    Thanks.
    Lau

    Sorry I have to rephrase the word - detect - to "check",
    sounds more pricisely...
    How can I check a file (a jpg or flv) exists in a folder?
    for instance flash can check if there is an instance exist or
    not on the timeline, for example a movie clip is called myMovie_mc.
    if (myMovie_mc){
    trace("myMovie_mc exist");
    }else{
    trace("sorry myMovie_mc doesnot exist");
    This is checking the instance on the timeline... but what I
    need is the check if a file (a flv file) exists or not in a folder
    outside the fla file.
    If that flv does exist in that folder ("videos" I called it),
    then the flash will take some actions. if it does not exist, then
    flash will do something else, like gotoAndPlay("default Intro").
    It will be much appreciated if anyone of you can sort this
    problem out for me.

  • When the webhelp folder is hosted, an error message is displayed, "whproxy.js file is missing", though the file exists in the folder.

    I have recently updated my project file with DUCC concept using the trial version of Robohelp 10. After generating the project, I have submitted the webhelp for hosting. When the concerned person tried to host the webhelp folder to the server, it is indicating that the whproxy.js file is missing, though it exists in the hosted webhelp folder.
    Please help me out with this.

    Does the help work when you open it locally? If it does, something is wrong with the upload progress or the server configuration. If it doesn't, try generating your output again.
    Kind regards,

  • File listing within a folder of images

    When I scan old film to create digital files, I put them in a folder with the file name ending in a sequential number ( 1, 2, 3, etc).  Sometimes, when I open the folder to work on the image files in Photoshop Elements 11, I find the files list in the proper sequential order, but other times, especially when I have recently had some files open, the files will be listed in the order that I last opened them.  How can I force PSE 11 to always list them in numerical order upon opening the folder?
    Robert Carney

    No, you were clear. In PSE11, the files are displayed in the common 'date taken' order (chronological) which is not the alphabetical order you gave to your photo files.
    That alphabetical sort order was present up to PSE10 in folder view only.
    It was dropped in PSE11, so the workaround was the one I indicated.
    In PSE12, the alphabetical filename order has been restored, not only in folder view, but in all views, thumbnail view, import batch...

  • How to make a category required for all files created within a folder

    I've defined a category. It has attributes which have been flagged as required.
    When I view the properies of a particular workspace (library), the category is shown as available to the workspace. However, the category is not shown as required. And the "required" checkbox is not clickable.
    So .. how, from the OCS DHTML applet, do I make a particular category a required category for all files in a folder?

    Perhaps the Category Attribute is not marked as "configurable" when it was created. You can check this by "switching into Admin Mode" and drilling down the Categories using "Manage Categories" link. Check if the category attribute is marked as configurable or not.

  • How to test an image file existing or not

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to test whether an image file exists or not before setting the url of an image component in JSF to it. Following is my code:
    File testFile = new File(image_path + "/p1.jpg");
    if(testFile.exists()){
    info("file exists");
    }else{
    info("file not exists");
    this.myImage.setUrl(image_path+"/p1.jpg");
    Althoug the p1.jpg can be linked to myImage, the existence test always fails. That is, I got the message "file not exists" even though it is already displayed.
    What did I do wrong?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Test-path where a directory in the path is variable

    My company has a series of fax lines and associated file shares. Faxes are processed & then dropped off into these file shares. From that point a service runs about every 60 seconds to look for files in these directories to import into a database.
    If there is a problem with the import then the service moves the file to a "HOLD" folder & files remain there until human intervention.
    I am trying to create a script that will find the HOLD directory in each of these folders and look for the existence of files, then email a group of users alerting them if there are.
    So there are several things I'm trying to accomplish.
    1. Look for files in a path where a folder in the middle of the path is variable.
    2. Send and email that will inform the recipient that there are files in the HOLD folder(s) and tell them WHICH ones
    Here's what I am starting with but it isn't working as expected.  There are files in at least one of these.  I also thought to try using some kind of foreach loop but it's eluding me.  Probably because it's late in the day for me.
    $folder = get-content -Path "\\child.domain.com\netlogon\scripts\ps\numbers.txt"
    if(Test-Path -Path "\\Server\scan import\fax\$folder\Hold" -include *.pdf, *.tif, *.jpg) {write-host "Files exist at $folder"} Else {write-host "No files in the hold folders"}
    # When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

    The numbers.txt includes a list of folder names, one per line. I did come up with the following and it's working, for my purposes, so I now need to figure out how to get the results into the body of a single email.
    $parent = "\\server\scan import\fax\"
    $folders = get-content -Path "\\child.domain.com\netlogon\scripts\ps\numbers.txt"
    Foreach ($folder in $folders)
    if(Test-Path -Path "$parent$folder\HOLD\*" -PathType leaf)
    write-host "Files exist at $parent$folder\Hold"
    Else
    write-host "$folder Clear"
    I'm really only using the Write-Host actions in place of the Send-MailMessage Cmdlet, at least I think that is the command I need.

  • Internal File Names within Content Areas

    I have a problem where I have loaded up a series of inter-linked HTML files created in an HTML editor (e.g. Dreamweaver). They all exist within a folder and all the links work. As soon as I amend a file and reload it, it gets a new name on the database (for example index_0.htm and then index_1.htm). Therefore because the name has changed the links no longer work. I have item versioning switched off in the content area and the folders where the items reside.
    Is there any way around this problem?
    null

    This behavior has been fixed for Portal 3.0.8, which is going to be part of 9iAS release 1.0.2.1, due out later this month.
    In the meantime, perhaps you could have dreamweaver update the links for your files as part of a dreamweaver "site" definition. If you update the name for one file say from ("myfile" to "myfile_1", all the other links would then be automatically updated by dreamweaver to reflect that). What version of Portal are you currently using? 3.0.6 or 3.0.7?

  • False File.exists; flex cannot open SQLite.db file

    I have a program that uses an SQLite database. Instead of creating and importing the database, the sqlite databse already exists, with the data.
    I am trying to open it and read the information (select* from table - for example); But nothing i do seems to work.
    The error I am getting is: 'Error #3125: Unable to open the database file.', details:'Connection closed.', operation:'open', detailID:'1001'. I have checked the path repeatedly, The file exists. I run flash builder as administrator (win7).
    code:
    I have moved the database file all around. In the final version of the program, the database will be stored in a seperate drive on a network (Z:/database.db, for example) So i need to use the absolute path; although i have tried others (application storage directory, etc)
    var dbFile:File = new File("C:\Users\Public\Documents\graduates.db");

    Hello,
    I have an Oracle Express Edition 10g running on
    Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 server.
    I have an Oracle database file which is 2.1 GB in
    size. I am not able to open this file using the
    application or the Oracle sql developer. The error
    message that I get is:
    ORA-01110: data file 5:
    '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/service_3_0.dbf'
    ORA-27041: unable to open file
    Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
    I think this has to do with the fact that since it is
    not a 64-bit Linux but a 32-bit Linux, it does not
    support files larger than 2GB. What do you think I
    should do to tackle this problem?
    Best Regard
    ThayalanThat's interesting! I had no problems with opening files 32767MB in size on the very same 32 bit RH EL 4.0. How did you conclude that your file is too large, based on the error message which reads "Linux Error: 13: Permission denied"? Have you tried reading the manual page for the "open" system call and see when does it return EACCESS (error 13), found in /usr/include/asm-i386/errno.h. My man page for open says the following:
    ERRORS
    EACCES The requested access to the file is not allowed, or search per-
    mission is denied for one of the directories in the path prefix
    of pathname, or the file did not exist yet and write access to
    the parent directory is not allowed. (See also path_resolution(7).)
    What lead you to the conclusion that your file is too big? Do you have an access to a system administrator who knows how to use "strace"? If your system admin doesn't know how to use "strace", he too deserves waterboarding.

  • Spry:if image file exists?

    Hi,
    is there a easy way to test if an image file exists on the server? I try to generate dynamic html listing names and pictures. The names (and other info) arein a xml file. For some, images exist on the server as name.jpg file. I'd like to check with spry if name.jpg file exist and if take it as picture, if not use a general placeholder.
    thanks for any hlep,

    Hi Ben,
    thanks for your time and effort helping. I'd really appreciate this.
    How is the XML-file compiled eg from a database or coded by hand
              I use both on my web site and It would be nice if the solution would work both
                   - with a query send to our institutes phone book. Results are in xml format
                   - and a local xml file, that has been edited by hand.
    Is there a serverside program you use eg PHP, ASP, Coldfusion
              I can use PHP or javascript, but php does not work in combination with server-side-includes that we use on our apache web server. I'd prefer javascript, because those script run on any page, even if SSI is used.
    Have you considered using an HTML table to retrieve the info instead of using XML
              No yet, because also the local xml file is basically identical to the query output. I just add some fields manually to the local xml file. (So I could add a "picture" entry, but this solution would not work with the xml online query).
    Is there anywhere where I can view your code
              The page is already online, the goal is to eliminate the non-existing picture links. This page queries a local xml file
              http://lch.web.psi.ch/webcontent/EduTeach/students.html
              I did a similiar thing using php on other pages of the site. This page queries a phonebook database using the xml output. It is written in php, which does not work with our server when SSI is used. The workaround is to include a html page generated by a php scirpt using iframe. I'd really would love to replace this php script by a spry/javascirpt combination.
              http://lch.web.psi.ch/webcontent/research/surface/Gruppe.html
    I attach the html file and php file for the two pages. Thanks, best, t.
