Powershell Diff Directory

I wanted to create a file diff between two different directories. Unfortunately, the Copy-Item CmdLt will not (as far as I know) create the directory structure while copying. This is a bummer. I wanted to keep all of the files in the pipe as opposed to to getting all the files first because of the number of files in the directory structure. Here's what I cam up with



$fromDir = "C:\FromDir";
$toDir = "C:\ToDir";
$diffDir = "C:\DiffDir";


Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path $fromDir | % {
if ((Test-Path (Join-Path -Path $toDir -ChildPath ([string]$_.FullName).Replace($fromDir, ""))) -eq $false)
{
if ((Test-Path (Join-Path -Path $diffDir -ChildPath ([string]$_.Directory).Replace($fromDir, ""))) -eq $false)
{
New-Item -Type "Directory" -Path (Join-Path -Path $diffDir -ChildPath ([string]$_.Directory).Replace($fromDir, ""));
}
Copy-Item -Recurse -Force $_.FullName -Destination (Join-Path -Path $diffDir -ChildPath ([string]$_.FullName).Replace($fromDir, ""));
}
};



As always, if anyone know a better way to do this, let me know.
