Move-item error after copying

Here’s the bit of relevant code, and the error: http://imgur.com/a/LEtb2

## Get a listing of the files in the Copy folder and move them to the appropriate subfolder $copyListing = Get-ChildItem Win213copy $count = 0 foreach ($dir_File in $copyListing) { if ($dir_File -like "*lab*") { Move-Item $dir_File -Destination C:UsersMishaDocumentsWin213Labs -Force $count++ } if ($dir_File -like "*lecture*") { Move-Item $dir_File -Destination C:UsersMishaDocumentsWin213Lectures -Force $count++ } if ($dir_File -like "*assignment*") { Move-Item $dir_File -Destination C:UsersMishaDocumentsWin213Assignments -Force $count++ } if ($dir_File -like "*script*") { Move-Item $dir_File -Destination C:UsersMishaDocumentsWin213Scripts -Force $count++ } } 

Error: Move-Item : Cannot find path 'C:UsersMishaDocumentsWin213mkhoussid_Lab4_LogFile.log' because it does not exist. ‘

I have a couple of questions, which Ill ask in one post, instead of clogging up main /r/powershell page. Ill also post the whole script at the very bottom of this post, for reference.

‘

First, why am I getting this error? I think the logic is correct, but I may be overlooking some crucial element.

‘

Second, why did I need to add a $count variable? Im going by my lab, and it doesnt really explain much about it, just says to create one.

‘

And lastly, would a SWITCH statement be a better option? How would I go about typing out the SWITCH statement? I havent learned that type yet, but would love to get ahead.

Thanks! Here’s the whole script:
