Test-Path

Short description
Determines whether all elements of a file or directory path exist.

Syntax


Description
The Test-Path cmdlet determines whether all elements of the path exist. It returns TRUE ($true) if all elements exist a
nd FALSE ($false) if any are missing. It can also tell whether the path syntax is valid and whether the path leads to a
 container or a terminal (leaf) element.

In a file system drive, Test-Path can tell whether a path is valid, whether all elements of the path exist, or report w
hether a path leads to a file or a directory. It can also tell whether a file was changed before or after a particular 
date.

Note: This custom cmdlet help file explains how the Test-Path cmdlet works in a file system drive. For information abou
t the Test-Path cmdlet in all drives, type "Get-Help Test-Path -Path $null" or see Test-Path at http://go.microsoft.com
