move multiple items to subfolders same filename

[spiceuser-zj4ni]

Hi

i’m stuck with my PS script. I looked everywhere but i can’t find what i’m looking for. I have a masterfolder that contains 1000 files.

Each file has the same filename in the destination folder that contain many subfolders. I need to move the files out of the masterfolder to the destination folder based on filename and replace them.

Is there an easyway to do this. I’m especially struggling with the part where i have to find in the destinationfolder the exact match of filename before i can move and replace it.

Something like:

$source = “path”
$destination = “path”

get-childitem $source | foreach-object {Move-item $_.name -match $destination -recurse }

Can someone help me what i’m doing wrong and how i can fix it?

Thank you

maybe a hash lookup table would be more efficient?
