I’m trying to search and get the count of files with a specific search string.
$String = Read-Host -prompt "What string to search for" $Count = (Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { $_ | Select-String -Pattern $String } | Measure-Object).count Echo $Count
The problem is that this cmdlet seems slow. I tried this script to run and search for “abc”, in 40000 xml files. It took about 5 to 8 minutes per run.
I’m new to Powershell and I’m not sure if there’s a faster way to achieve what I’m looking for?
