Running a command on each file from a directory if it ends in a certain extension

I"m trying to run a convert all of my .ipynb files within a directory to .pdf using this command:

 ipython nbconvert {FILE} --to pdf

where {FILE} is the filename.

I'm trying to find all .ipynb files within a directory and its subdirs and then apply the above command to each file using powershell.

Looking around stackoverflow I put together the first part, but I"m not sure about the second part:

Get-ChildItem C:\Users\yomog\Desktop\FAST AI\courses-master *.ipynb     -recurse |
    Foreach-Object {
       ipython nbconvert {FILE} --to pdf
}

You need to quote pathes containing spaces 

Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\yomog\Desktop\FAST AI\courses-master *.ipynb" -Recurse |
    Foreach-Object {
       & ipython nbconvert "$($_.FullName)" --to pdf
}

The object being returned to the pipeline can be accessed as $_. Since it will be returning IO.FileInfo objects your best bet is probably to replace {FILE} with $_.FullName
