Following is a powershell function to check for a existence of folder in a document library.

Function CheckFolder($listParm)
{
    TRY
    {
        $ErrActionPref = "CONTINUE";
        $spQry = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
        $camlQry = "<Where>
          <And>
           <Contains>
             <FieldRef Name='ContentType' />
             <Value Type='Computed'>Folder</Value>
           </Contains>
        </And>
        <And>
           <Eq>
             <FieldRef Name='Title' />
             <Value Type='Text'>Name of Folder-To-Check</Value>
           </Eq>
        </And>
       </Where>"

        $spQry.ViewAttributes = "Scope = 'Recursive'"
        $spQry.Query = $camlQry
        $spLstItms = $listParm.GetItems($spQry)
        if ($spLstItms.Items.Count -gt 0) 
       {
          foreach ($item in $spLstItms)
          {
             #items found
              return $true
          }
       }

    }
    CATCH
    {
      
     #Error handling
     return $false   
    }
    return  $false
}



#I am calling this CheckFolder function as follows
if ((CheckFolder $list) -eq $true)
{
    #Matching folder found
}

When I run the checkFolder function, it is not finding the folder within the document library.

Any ideas on why it is not working.

Thanks

Nate

Hi Nate,

I have written this for you, I have tested and it seems to be working,

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$web = Get-SPWeb "<<web url>>"
$list = $web.lists["<<list name>>"];

$spQuery = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery;
$spQuery.ViewAttributes = "Scope='RecursiveAll'";
$spQuery.Query = "<Where><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId'/><Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0120</Value></BeginsWith></Where>";
$folders = $list.GetItems($spQuery);

foreach ($folder in $folders) {
	Write-Host "Current folder name: " $folder.Name ;
	#write your filter logic here
}

Thanks Rupesh, I am working on using CAML and recursively finding the folder. I will try your query and let you know.

Sure, I am always there :)

Hi Nate,

Any update?

Best Regards
