Stuck with Powershell script #24771

Hi all,

I want to create a Powershell script for the following:

• I have a folder called contracts with several subfolders. These subfolders are sorted by contract number. In these folders there are files.
• I want to move these files into another directory on the same level as the contract folder. Next to this folder, there are also folders with the same contract number.
• I want to move the files from the contracts subfolder into the other folders corresponding with the same client number (hope I explain it right).

So from here: C:\Users\Documents\script\contracts\ [subfolder with customer number] \file(s) (there are multiple subfolders)
To there: C:\Users\Documents\script\ [new created subfolder with customer number] \copy file(s) here

This is what I have so far, but I'm getting stuck:

#Define Parent Folder
$source_path = Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\Documents\script\contracts" -Include $filetype -Recurse

#Define Temporary Destination Folder to create subfolders
$temp_path = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Users\Documents\script\" -Recurse

$filetype ="*"

#Make subfolder
foreach ($folder in $temp_path ) {
        New-Item -Name "Documents" -Path $folder.FullName -ItemType Directory -verbose;
        }

#Define Destination Folder
$subfolder = "\Documents"
$destination_path = Get-ChildItem $temp_path -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Name.EndsWith($subfolder)}

#Move files from Parent to Destination folder
foreach ($folder in $source_path) {
$targetFile = Join-Path $destination_path $filetype.Name

Copy-Item $filetype.FullName $targetFile

}

The problem is that the the new folder I want to create is also be created in the "old" contracts folder and subfolders. I want to skip this. I only want the new folder to be created in C:\Users\Documents\script[contract number folder] and not in C:\Users\Documents\script[contract number folder]\subfolder(s)
