title: PowerShell: how to copy only selected files from source directory?
body: <p>I'm a Powershell newbie, trying to get a simple script to run.</p>
  
  <p>I have a list of files that I want to copy from some src_dir to a dst_dir. I wrote a simple script (which is obviously wrong since it didnt do anything when I executed it).</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please help check to see what I'm doing wrong?</p>
  
  <pre><code># source and destionation directory
  $src_dir = "C:\Users\Pac\Desktop\C4new"
  $dst_dir = "C:\Users\Pac\Desktop\csci578-hw3\Prism\C4new"
  
  # list of files from source directory that I want to copy to destination folder
  # unconditionally
  $file_list = "C4newArchitecture.java", "CustomerData.java"
  
  # Copy each file unconditionally (regardless of whether or not the file is there
  for($i=0; $i -le $file_list.Length - 1; $i++)
  {
    Copy-Item -path $src_dir+$file_list[$i] -dest $dst_dir -force
  }
  </code></pre>
