[Solved] Moving files from one location to another with a wildcard file extension?

by


Assuming that the file names are in a file, one on each line, with no extension, this code might do it. When you are confident that the correct files will be moved, remove the -WhatIf from the Move-Item cmdlet.

$names = Get-Content -Path '.\filelist.txt'

Get-ChildItem -File -Path 'C:\the\directory' |
    ForEach-Item {
        if ($names -contains $_.Name) {
            Move-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination 'C:\the\other\directory' -WhatIf
        }
    }
