thanks, -ja

im not sure follow you. have set of languages culture code (bg example) , each language want copy correct package, number code. information associates these 2 things?

so example, dir of $languagepath you? contain file/folder culture code?

so lets there file/folder 4 digit code in $languagepath, it

dir -path $languagepath | {$_.name -match "\d{4}")

that work provided there 1 4 digit name in there... otherwise return multiples , there more work involed.
