Copying *.htm from DVD to local disk

[martyix]

Hello, I would like to copy all .htm files from DVD to my disk but I want to preserve the tree structure. Example:E: (DVD mechanics) contain files:===============index.htmpicturespictures.htmand result should be:D: (local disk)===========D:tempprojectindex.htmD:tempprojectpicturespictures.htmI'm totally newbie to PS so I've come up only with this and I don't know how to finish it:get-Childitem E: -recurse | where{$_.Extension -match "htm"} | foreach { $tmp=$_.name; # copy-item $_ D:tempproject ...}Thank you for help!

You'd think this wouldn't be that difficult to do in PowerShell.

copy -path e: -filter *.htm -dest D:TempProject -recurse -container -passthru

Because you are copying from the root of E: this should be ok. When I try this copying from a sub folder, I end up with the subfolder in the target folder.

Let me know how this works for you.

does it work better if you omit the -container parameter? Or are you good?

Once again thank you! I would like to warn you that I have PowerShell 2.0 (CTP 2)

thank you! It works fine for me! Well I still don't understand what was wrong with: E: .. if it's a bug in CTP or if it has some good reason for the bahaviour..
