[Solved] multiple exclude rules in powershell

I post this as an answer as I don’t have the characters to do it as comment.
Let me see if I understand this.

$Files = Get-ChildItem -File C:\Setup | select Name, LastWriteTime

You then have an export of the files like:

Name                           LastWriteTime       
----                           -------------

SS_MM_Master_Italy_2017.txt    6/27/2018 4:30:09 PM
SS_MM_Master_Italy_2018.txt    6/27/2018 4:30:09 PM

And then you can go with an foreach with if like:

foreach ($File in $Files) {

If ($File.Name -like "*Italy*" -and $File.Name -like "*2017*") {
Write-Host $File.Name
}
Else{
Write-Host "This is not the file you are looking for" $file.Name
}
}

I believe you can understand the concept behind this code. You can replace the Italy with a variable that you can do with Read-Host that goes for all your conditions on the if statement and then if those are true move the file to the other folder.

Hope this answer will help you.
