Select file with operator sign in name

Question

Hi,
I Have a little problem with my powershell and it's driving me crazy. The goal of the script is to move file base on a filter.
The name file : 4456#FIDI#FIDI-+-ASSURANCE#20140407#093415#71545176#5266875.wav
The filter : #FIDI#FIDI-+-ASSURANCE#
Here is my code :
$directory_origine8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\OLD_RECORDS\other records\ALL_FIDI"
$directory_destination8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\FIDI\Assurance"
$filter8 = "#FIDI#FIDI"-+-"ASSURANCE#"
$filter8
foreach ($file8 in (Get-ChildItem -Path $directory_origine8 -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -match $filter8} ))
$filter8
$fichier = $file8.Name
$fichier
$path_fichier = $file8.fullname
$path_fichier
At the end of the execution I get "#FIDI#FIDI"-+-"ASSURANCE#" which is line 4. I have plenty of files matching the filter.
Can you help me ?
best regards

Just execute only these two lines
$filter8 = "#FIDI#FIDI"-+-"ASSURANCE#"
$filter8
You will get an error
Or you trying to filter file contains FIDI and ASSURANCE
$directory_origine8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\OLD_RECORDS\other records\ALL_FIDI"
$directory_destination8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\FIDI\Assurance"
#$filter8 = "#FIDI#FIDI"-+-"ASSURANCE#"
#$filter8
foreach ($file8 in (Get-ChildItem -Path $directory_origine8 -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -contains "*#FIDI#*" -and $_.Name -contains "*ASSURANCE#*"} ))
$filter8
$fichier = $file8.Name
$fichier
$path_fichier = $file8.fullname
$path_fichier
or this
$filter8 = "#FIDI#FIDI-+-ASSURANCE#"
$filter8
$directory_origine8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\OLD_RECORDS\other records\ALL_FIDI"
$directory_destination8 = "R:\RECORDS_ALL\FIDI\Assurance"
$filter8 = "#FIDI#FIDI-+-ASSURANCE#"
$filter8
foreach ($file8 in (Get-ChildItem -Path $directory_origine8 -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -match $filter8} ))
$filter8
$fichier = $file8.Name
$fichier
$path_fichier = $file8.fullname
$path_fichier
