I have a script that looks at the source folder and then the destination folder and decides if the sub-folders are present. If not, it creates the corresponding folder. Once that is done, it moves all of the files in the sub folders to the destination. Problem - There are duplicate files that need can't be overwritten. I need a way to check for duplicates and if found, increment the source file name by -1. There may be incremented files already.

My current script works flawlessly to create needed sub-folders and move files but I loose any previous files.

$SFolder = "C:TempTestSource"
$DFolder = "C:TempTestDestination"

$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $SFolder -Directory 
foreach ($folder in $folders) 
 Where-Object -FilterScript $_.LastWriteTime -lt [datetime]::Now.AddMinutes(-5) 

The script as written works great. Here is what I need. I start with the following:

Source test15013018-22503-652469-1 (no file extension)
 test15013018-22503-652469-2

Destination test25013018-22503-652469-1
 test25013018-22503-652469-1-1
 test25013018-22503-652469-1-2

I want the following result after running the script:

Source test1

Destination test25013018-22503-652469-1
 test25013018-22503-652469-1-1
 test25013018-22503-652469-1-2
 test25013018-22503-652469-1-3

  Your source already has a trailing -1 How to determine if this should be incremented or another -1 appended?

  Each file could have -1 through -30 as each file corresponds to a specific board. If there already is a -1, then the file needs to be -1-1 or -18-1 or 27-1.
