PowerShell: searching in the first 2 levels of the directory

Let's say you need to find a certain folder in the Directory, but you don't want to go deeper than 2 or 3 levels in your search?

Obviously, we will have to use get-childitem

However, -recurse option cannot help, since it has no stopping limit - it will recurse to the bottom of the directory

Here is a solution that I found that's short and simple, just the way I like it:



$search1 = "C:\temp\*"
$search2 = "C:\temp\*\*"
$search3 = "C:\temp\*\*\*"

$folders =  Get-ChildItem  -path $search1, $search2, $search3 | where-object {$_.PSIscontainer -and $_.name.StartsWith("Blue")}
