I'm trying to copy log files from a number of sources to a local folder, but nothing seems to be happening.
My code:
Param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
[ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType 'Leaf'})]
[String]
$FileOfLogFiles
)
$ListOfLogFiles = Get-Content $FileOfLogFiles
$CurrentPath = Get-Location
$CurrentTime = Get-Date -UFormat "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S_%Z"
$DestinationPath = "$CurrentPath\$CurrentTime\"
Write-Host ""
ForEach ( $LineOfLogFiles in $ListOfLogFiles )
{
If ( $LineOfLogFiles.substring(0,1) -eq "#" )
{
} Else {
[string[]]$ElementsOfLineOfLogFiles = $LineOfLogFiles.split(";")
$Server = $ElementsOfLineOfLogFiles[0]
$Volume = $ElementsOfLineOfLogFiles[1]
$LogFolder = $ElementsOfLineOfLogFiles[2]
$SourcePath = "\\$Server\$Volume`$\$LogFolder\*.log"
Write-Host "$(Get-Date -Format o) SourcePath = '$SourcePath'"
Write-Host "$(Get-Date -Format o) DestinationPath = '$DestinationPath'"
Get-ChildItem -Path "$SourcePath" -Recurse"Copy-Item -Path `"$SourcePath`" -Destination $DestinationPath -force -recurse -verbose"
Copy-Item -Path "$SourcePath" -Destination $DestinationPath -force -recurse -verbose
}
Write-Host ""
}My data file looks like this:
vcac2web1;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2web2;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2mgmt1;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2mgmt2;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2demw1;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2demw2;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2agnt1;e;Program Files (x86)
vcac2agnt2;e;Program Files (x86)
The script does not generate any errors, but no files are actually copied. The Get-ChildItem does find the log files. I am running this in PowerShell proper, not the IDE. OS = Windows Server 2012 not R2, PS = 3.0
