SearchForJSONS.ps1

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Searches for JSON files in subdirectories, counts them, and copies them to a separate folder.

.DESCRIPTION
This PowerShell script searches for JSON files in the current directory and its subdirectories. It counts the number of JSON files found and then copies them to a separate folder named "JSONS" located at the same location as the script. If there are any filename conflicts during the copying process, the script renames the conflicting files by appending numbers to the filenames.

.NOTES
- Make sure to place this script in the directory where you want to start the search for JSON files.
- If the "JSONS" folder already exists, the script will copy the JSON files into that folder without overwriting any existing files.

.EXAMPLE
.\json_search.ps1
Runs the script to search for JSON files, count them, and copy them to the "JSONS" folder.
