    i want to loop through subfolders and fetch the file name with a .temp extension and when i use foreach loop, it didnt work.

    how to use foreach to iterate through subfolders and find the existence of a .temp file 

    $folders = get-childitem - directory -path $mysharedfolder

    foreach($folder in $folders)

    {

    #found the file with *.temp then break / exit the loop

    }

    What doesn't work? You can't break out of the 'foreach', or you don't find any files with a '.temp' suffix, or you don't find all the folders in the directory hierarchy?

    It doesn't help that you provided no code in the part of your script where you say you have a problem!

    Additionaly to Rich question, would be great if you will explain what you need todo, because logic in your words is a litle bit complicated.

    What you said could be done in 1 line without the loop

    gci $yourSharedFolder -file *temp -recurse | select -first 1
