Copy files from folders which contain less than a number of files
0
Coming from Bash: Find folders with less than x files
find . -type d -exec sh -c 'set -- "$0"/*.flac; ! [ -e "$1" ]' {} ; -print
How do I extend the line to now recurse through the resulting list of folders, list the files and move/copy the files to somewhere else.
command-line bash powershell file-management recursive

couldn't find help with linux or too dumb, so i used powershell
# list directories and number of files within each directory
# and copy them away dependent on number of files
$dirs = gci -directory
foreach ($dir in $dirs) {
$nof = (gci -file $dir | measure-object).count
write-host $dir has $nof files
if ($nof -le 4){
copy-item .$dir*.* -destination h:testdir
write-host files will be copied
}
