I have the following error in my powershell code and I want to replace it with a warning. Here is the error and my function.

gci : Access to the path 'C:UsersUser1AppDataLocalHistory' is denied.
At line:10 char:18
+ ...    $files = gci -File -Rec -Path $path -Force -Exclude *.ps1,*.psm1,* ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (C:UsersUser1...LocalHistory:String) [Get-ChildItem], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirUnauthorizedAccessError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

Here is my Function:

Function Find-ReplaceAll {
Param(
[string] $path,
[string] $stringFind,
[string] $stringReplace
#[parameter( Mandatory = $false )]
#[string[]] $exclude = "*.ps1,*.psm1,*.psd1,*.cmd,*.vbs"
)
    try{
        $files = gci -File -Rec -Path $path -Force -Exclude *.ps1,*.psm1,*.psd1,*.cmd,*.vbs
            foreach ($file in $files){
            $count += $file.count
                write-host "Checking file: $($file.fullname)"
                (Get-Content -path ($file.FullName) -ReadCount 100) |  
                    ForEach-Object { 
                        $_ -replace $stringFind, $stringReplace} |
                            Set-Content -path $file.FullName -force
            }
    }catch{
    [DirUnauthorizedAccessExceptionError]
        write-warning -Message "Can't access location. Access is denied."
    }
}

I’ve tried to catch UnauthorizedAccessException as well but that didn’t work either.

I’m also trying to figure out how to use $exclude as a string param for my function.
