Question

I would like to use power shell to loop all subfolders and run all the files in it. But, if my root contain 3 subfolders, I would like to loop and list it accordingly to the sequence where : Subfolder C , Subfolder B and Subfolder A so that the file execution will run according to the sequence ( C–>B–>A) .

Below is my coding.

Get-ChildItem -path "C:\Root\subfolders\" -recurse -Filter *.sql | foreach-object -process { $_.FullName }|
   ForEach-Object {
        sqlcmd -i $_
    }

Answer 1

Give this a try, get all folders of C:\Root\subfolders and foreach folder found get its files recursively :

Get-ChildItem C:\Root\subfolders | 
Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer} | 
Foreach-Object  {Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -Recurse -Filter *.sql | Foreach-Object {sqlcmd -i $_.FullName} }
