I am trying to get directories that contain "COO", but after adding the Where-Object nothing is returned, the script is looping through each of the folders but nothing makes it to the file when the Where-Object is in place.
This works:
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Directory | select Fullname | Export-csv c:users\shay\desktop\test.csv
This doesn't:
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Directory | Select Fullname | Where-Object {$_.Fullname -like 'COO'} | Export-Csv c:users\shay\desktop\test.csv
In order to use the -Like parameter you'll need to include a wildcard (*), try the following:
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Directory | select Fullname | where-object {$_.Fullname -like '*COO*'} | Export-csv c:users\shay\desktop\test.csv
You could also potentially move the expression to the Get-ChildItem portion of this snippet.
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Directory -Filter '*COO*' | select Fullname | Export-csv c:users\shay\desktop\test.csv
