Powershell Directory Tree

Hey All,

Looking for a decent way to scan for and create a directory tree 3 levels deep, and not list any files within the tree it's self.

I have this Get-ChildItem -Path Q:\ -Recurse | Export-Csv C:\File-Tree.cs which works mostly, but is adding all of the files and every sub folder.

Any input to help simplify this?

I ideally would like something along these lines.

Q:\
- - - Q:\Folder 1
- - - - Q:\Folder 1\Sub 1
- - - - - Q:\Folder 1\Sub 1\ 

Q:\
- - - Q:\Folder 2
- - - - Q:\Folder 2\Sub 1
- - - - - Q:\Folder 2\Sub 1\

So on and so forth.

get-childitem -Path Q:\ -Recurse -Directory -Depth 3|export-csv C:\file-tree.csv

Just missing -directory and -Depth options.

Edit: You added additional requirements after I posted that, lol.

Slight modification:

get-childitem -Path Q:\ -Recurse -Directory -Depth 3|select FullName|export-csv C:\file-tree.csv

Will get you just the folder list.

It went more than the 3 directories though.

It's much cleaner though.

I got it sorted, computer math

2 means 2 from the directory its starting from (aka) 1 deeper than what I was thinking.

Set it to 1 deep and I get two folders.

Thanks!
