I’m new in Regex
I have following folder structure:
Directory: C:\Backup\Pictures
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----- 22.3.2022. 13:17 2020
d----- 22.3.2022. 13:17 2021
d----- 22.3.2022. 13:17 2022
d----- 22.3.2022. 13:24 archives
d----- 22.3.2022. 13:18 listing
Inside of each folder with year as name i have subfolders which represents months and days, like below:
C:\Backup\Pictures\2020\07\24
C:\Backup\Pictures\2020\08\24
C:\Backup\Pictures\2020\09\24
C:\Backup\Pictures\2021\07\24
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
I need expression to look only in subfolders with days, for example to look on subfolder 24 in C:\Backup\Pictures\2020\07\
I have expression which recognizes if folder name contains 4 numbers but don’t know how to expand it to search for 2 subfolders which have 2 digits in name
C:\Backup\Pictures\XXXX - done
C:\Backup\Pictures\XXXX\XX\XX - need expression
Get-ChildItem 'C:\Backup\Pictures\' -recurse | where {{ $_.DirectoryName -match '^\d4$' }}
But need expression which needs to search folders with following patterns: C:\Backup\Pictures\4 digits\2 digits\2 digits
>Solution :
Instead of -Recurse, simply call Get-ChildItem with a wildcard path that resolves to the target paths:
Get-ChildItem -Path .\20[0-9][0-9]\[0-9][0-9]\[0-9][0-9]
