How to check all strings before doing the next step

Question

I want to perform string-comparison. I use a foreach loop, but I want to do move-item after all strings have been compared.

My concept is " If all of strings not match, do move-item. "

How can I do that?

here is my present code but it is " if match,do move-item

$Myfile=dir *my file name*
$directory=dir D:\example    (there are many directory)

foreach($dir in $directory){
 if($dir match $Myfile.basename ){
   move-item $Myfile.fullname -destination D:\example
 }
}

I want to do move-item after string comparison to ensure that my file name doesn't exist $directory here is what I want to achieve

if( ("all of the directory Name") -notmatch $myfile.basename ){
  move-item XXX to XXX
}

if I use -notmatch , it will do move-item at the first time loop. So I need to do move-item after checking them all...

You can set a variable to true if something matches:

$Myfile=dir *my file name*
$directory=dir D:\example    (there are many directory)

$move = $false
foreach($dir in $directory){
    if($dir match $Myfile.basename ){
        $move = $true
    }
}
if ($move){
    move-item $Myfile.fullname -destination D:\example
}
