from a filename to file paths

[Lauraq]

Hi
I have a txt containing a list of document names (docx) For example:

newdoc2023.docx
document_34.docx
filedocument.docx

I would need a script that searches the list of names inside a folder (and subfolders) and creates a txt containing the file path
For example:

C:\Doc\Nuova cartella\2023\newdoc2023.docx
C:\Doc\Nuova cartella\2020\base\doc\document_34.docx
C:\Doc\archive\2021\save\filedocument.docx

Many thanks

Code: Select all

CD C:\Doc\
$files = get-content files.txt
foreach ($file in $files) {dir $file -recurse | select -expandProperty fullname | out-file -append -encoding utf8 C:\demo\result.txt}

This is assuming the current directory is the start point for the search.
