Powershell nested IF statements

Question

I am trying to do the following:

Check for a file in src
- If that file is there copy it to dst
- If that file is exists in the dst, continue
- If that file isn't in the dst, do something
Continue on but do something else
Finish off and do something else

I'm struggling to understand how the nested IF statements should be structured

Seems pretty straight given your requirements:

$src = "e:\temp"
$dst = "e:\temp2"
$filename = "test.txt"

# 1.Check for a file in src
if (Test-Path "$src\$filename")
{
    # 1.A If that file is there copy it to dst
    Copy-Item "$src\$filename" $dst

    if (!(Test-Path "$dst\$filename"))
    {
        # 1.C If that file isn't in the dst do something
    }
    #1.B If that file exists in the dst continue
}
else
{
    #2.Continue on but do something else
}

#3.Finish off and do something else
