function Resolve-PathEx { <# .SYNOPSIS Resolve-Path extended to also work with files that don't exist. .DESCRIPTION You can use Resolve-PathEx when you want to handle both filenames and paths in a single parameter in your functions. The function returns an object, and includes the resolved path as well as a boolean indicating whether the file exists or not. Wildcards are supported for both path and filename. .EXAMPLE Resolve-Path *.ps1 Will resolve full path of all files in the current directory with the ps1 file extension. .EXAMPLE Resolve-PathEx c:\program*\windows*\w*.exe Will resolve full path of all exe files beginning with w in any folders of the root of C: that starts with 'progra', and all subfolders of these that start with 'windows'. .EXAMPLE Resolve-Path Will resolve the current path. .EXAMPLE Resolve-Path nosuchfile.txt Will resolve the full path of the file, even though it doesn't exist. .LINK https://gist.github.com/gravejester/a5c8407fcf5fb16a356a .NOTES Author: Øyvind Kallstad Date: 13.11.2014 Version: 1.0 #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelinebyPropertyName)] [string[]] $Path = '.\' ) PROCESS{ foreach ($thisPath in $Path) { try { # first try to resolve using the whole path [array]$resolvedPath += (Resolve-Path -Path $thisPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path) # if that didn't work, split to get the path only if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($resolvedPath)) { $pathOnly = Split-Path $thisPath # if no path returned, add current directory as path if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($pathOnly)) { $pathOnly = '.\' } # try to resolve again using only the path $pathOnlyResolve = (Resolve-Path -Path $pathOnly -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path) # if successfull if (-not([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($pathOnlyResolve))) { # add the path and the filename back together foreach ($p in $pathOnlyResolve) { $pathAndFile = Join-Path -Path $p -ChildPath (Split-Path -Path $thisPath -Leaf) $exists = Test-Path $pathAndFile Write-Output (,([PSCustomObject] [Ordered] @{ Path = $pathAndFile Exists = $exists })) } } # if we still are unable to resolve, the path most likely don't exist else { Write-Warning "Unable to resolve $pathOnly" } } else { foreach ($item in $resolvedPath) { $exists = Test-Path $item Write-Output (,([PSCustomObject] [Ordered] @{ Path = $item Exists = $exists })) } } } catch { Write-Warning $_.Exception.Message } } } } |
