To get a simple list of files with their full paths using Get-ChildItem
in PowerShell, you can use the following command:
powershellGet-ChildItem -File | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
Explanation:
Get-ChildItem
is used to retrieve a list of files and folders in the current directory.- The
-File
parameter filters the results to include only files and exclude directories. Select-Object
is used to select specific properties of the objects returned byGet-ChildItem
.-ExpandProperty FullName
expands theFullName
property, which contains the full path of each file.
The command will return a simple list of file paths, with each file's full path printed on a separate line.
You can modify the command as per your requirements by specifying a different directory path with the -Path
parameter of Get-ChildItem
. For example:
powershellGet-ChildItem -Path C:\Path\To\Directory -File | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
Replace C:\Path\To\Directory
with the actual directory path you want to retrieve the file list from.
Remember to run the PowerShell command with appropriate permissions to access the specified directory and its contents.
