get-childitem find files in folders with same names-CodePudding

I need to check that all files in folders with the naming ".policy" is ether 'azureDeploy.parameters.json' or 'azureDeploy.json'

if i only want it to check one folder i just give the full path as here:

            $azureDeployFiles = @('azureDeploy.parameters.json', 'azureDeploy.json')        
            (Get-ChildItem -path ..\..\fes\.policy -file -Recurse).name | Should -BeIn $azureDeployFiles

and that works. But i have multiple folders called something like '.\..\..\.policy' and i would like to check if all the folders with that naming only contains files with the naming 'azureDeploy.parameters.json' or 'azureDeploy.json'

You could specify 'only files in folders named X' with Where-Object on the Directory property:

$azureDeployFiles = @('azureDeploy.parameters.json', 'azureDeploy.json')
Get-ChildItem -path ..\..\ -Recurse -File | 
  Where Directory -Like "*\.policy" | 
    # example checking file names with -In
    Foreach { $_.Name -In $azureDeployFiles }

Continuing from my comment. . .with a little help from the pipeline, we can use Where-Object to filter for directories with that specific name:

$azureDeployFiles = @('azureDeploy.parameters.json', 'azureDeploy.json') 
Get-ChildItem -Path '.\MyPath' -Include $azureDeployFiles -Recurse | 
    Where-Object Directory -Like '*\.Policy'
