Conditionally Copy File

[thermidor]

Hi All -

I want to write a PS routine to recursively search a directory. If that search finds files with a certain string of characters ("xyz") in the name, the file should be copied to a target with the directory structure on the source replicated (if it does not already exist) on the target.

I am new to PS and am having trouble breaking down how to approach this in PS. Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Sven

Simple answer to my own question:
copy-item H:\PS H:\PS_target -Recurse -Filter "*xyz*
