Hi,i tested it again... i found why it works for you and not for me. Try it without recurse... you'll get every files, not only the included file . i don't want to get all subfolders file but only the first level of folder, i cannot use recurse. Thank you anyway 🙂i'll continue my script with this$FILEDOC = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath "$PATH" -Name -Fileforeach ($DOC in $FILEDOC){if ($DOC -like "*.doc" -and $DOC -notlike "*.docx"){blablabla}}

I changed the last line to the line below, which will get you all the *.doc files. Added the -Recurse the scan all subfolders you can remove if you don't need that.

$FILEDOC = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath "$PERCORSO" -Name -File -Include *.doc -Recurse

Nicktab&nbsp;I created a test folder with a docx and doc file:&nbsp;When I run this, I only get the docx file:C:\Users\HarmVeenstra&gt; Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath d:	emp	est -Recurse -Include *.docx -nameNew Microsoft Word Document.docxWhen I run this, I only get the doc file:C:\Users\HarmVeenstra&gt; Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath d:	emp	est -Recurse -Include *.doc -nameNew Microsoft Word Document.docSo the -Include doc does work in my opinion 🙂&nbsp;
