Title
Body
I'm stumped here on what seems to be a simple problem; so sorry for any bone-headed-ness over here. I have script that cleans up defunct backup files. After identifying the files I loop over and print out what's being dumped. My problem arises trying to provide feedback/testing when there are zero defunct files. The script looks like... $Files = Get-ChildItem $BackupPath_Root -include *.bak -recurse | where {$_.CreationTime -le $DelDate_Backup } if ( $Files -eq "" -or $Files.Count -eq 0 ) { write-host " no files to delete." #<-- this doesn't print when no files } else { foreach ($File in $Files) { write-host “$File” Remove-Item $File | out-null } } The if checking for no files doesn't catch the no file condition. What is the appropriate way to test $Files for no results ?
