I'm trying to move all the mails after removing the special characters in the filename to some destination based on the filename. FOLDLIST is an array, where I'm having the condition variable and destination foldername.
Set-Location 'C:\Users\abrahame\Desktop\Work\PSG Mail Movement\Mail'
$DESLOC="c:\Temp\ua-closed bugs"
$FOLDLIST = @(("UA", "CLOSE", "ua-closed bugs"), ("VS", "CLOSE", "vs-closed-bugs"), ("CM", "CLOSED", "cm - closed-bugs"))
gci | Foreach-object { $NEWN = $_.Name -replace '&',' ' -replace '_', ' ' -replace '#', ' ' -replace '!', ' ' -replace '@', ' ' -replace '$', ' ' -replace '%', ' ' -replace '^', ' ' -replace '&', ' ' -replace '\(', ' ' -replace '\)', ' ' -replace '\[', ' ' -replace '\]', ' ' -replace '\{', ' ' -replace '\}', ' ' -replace '\-', ' ';
write-host $NEWN.Length
if($NEWN.Length -gt 70){
$NEWN="$NEWN.Substring(1,70)"
$NEWN=$NEWN.msg
}
$FOLDLIST | ForEach-Object {
$CXR=$_[0]
$STAT=$_[1]
if ($NEWN -match ("$CXR") -and $NEWN -match ("$STAT")){
write-host $CXR - $STAT
$DIR=$_[2]
$NEWN=$NEWN.trim()
$DPATH="$DESLOC\$DIR\$NEWN"
write-host $DPATH
mv $_.Name $DPATH
}
}
}
I'm getting this error. Please advise where I did mistake..

$_
is the active object in the current pipeline. You've started a new pipeline with $FOLDLIST | ...
so $_
represents the objects in that array that are passed down the pipeline. You should stash the FileInfo object from the first pipeline in a variable and then reference that variable later e.g.:
write-host $NEWN.Length
$file = $_
...
Move-Item $file.Name $DPATH
