PowerShell script to check file older than 90 days output-CodePudding

So i have a PS script which check files older than 90 days. The problem is the output. I need a output which just says " The folder contains files older than 90 days" . Instead of this the script gives the mentioned output for every single file like a list. is there way to change it?

Code :

 $a = Get-ChildItem "*insert path*"
    
    foreach($x in $a)
        {
            $y = ((Get-Date) – $x.CreationTime).Days
            if ($y -gt 90 -and $x.PsISContainer -ne $True)
            {
            
            write-host "Files older than 90 days exist"
            }
                 
        }

Output i get : Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist Files older than 90 days exist

You just need to break your loop if the condition is $true at least once. In addition, Get-ChildItem has a -File switch to search only for files, you don't need to check if .PsISContainer is $false.

$files = Get-ChildItem "enter path here" -File
$limit = [datetime]::Now.AddDays(-90)
foreach($file in $files) {
    if ($file.CreationTime -lt $limit) {
        '{0} contains files older than 90 days' -f $file.Directory
        break
    }
}

I figured out a solution for this.

 $Path = "C:\Users\skmohan\Documents\Srija\Js\*"
 $count = 0
foreach($x in $Path)
    {
        $y = ((Get-Date) – $x.CreationTime).Days
        if ($y -gt 90 -and $x.PsISContainer -ne $True)
        {
        $count  
        
        } 

            
    }
    if($count -gt 0)
    {
    write-host "$count Files older than 90 days exist"
    
    }

    else 
    {
    Write-Host "No files older than 90 days"

    }
