How do I use where condition in powershell

Question

Here what I want to do is get the list of the folders that have files which has the value of ErrorCode > 0.

This is what I have done till now.

$fileNames = Get-ChildItem -Path $scriptPath -Recurse -Include *.data
$FoldersToRename = @() #initialize as array
foreach ($file in $fileNames) {
    If (Get-Content $file | %{$_ -match '"ErrorCode": 0'}) 
{
 echo "matched"   
}

Now I have .data file which are being searched by this program. It contains an object with a value of "ErrorCode":value. I want to perform some operations only if that value is greater than zero.

How do I solve this?

One way to do it is like this:

Get-ChildItem -Path $scriptPath -Filter *.data | 
    ForEach-Object {
        if((Get-Content -Path $_.FullName -Raw) -match '"ErrorCode": [1-9]\d*') {
            "Matched"
        }
}

This works for me after adjusting the regex to account for white space between the errorcode and it's value
