Powershell Cannot find drive. A drive with the name ' C' does not exist

Wrote a PS script that reads a .ini file for certain parameters to copy files from folder_a to folder_b,c ..and so on. I get the dreaded "

Cannot find drive. A drive with the name ' C' does not exist."

I have tried carrots, quotations and no luck. Not sure what is causing the failure. I'm curious as to why it put a space before the "C" drive when the .ini file does not contain this.

# Load the contents of the abc_derp.ini file$iniContent = Get-Content "C:\cfg\abc_derp.ini" -Raw | ConvertFrom-StringData# Get values from the abc_derp.ini file$amount = [int]$iniContent["AMT"]$partialNames = $iniContent["PTN"] -split ";"$sourceDirectory = $iniContent["SRC"]$targetDirectories = $iniContent["TRG"] -split ";"$logFile = $iniContent["LOG"]# Create log file with timestamp$logFileName = "log_$(Get-Date -Format yyyy-MM-dd-HHmmss).txt"$logFilePath = Join-Path $sourceDirectory $logFileNameforeach ($partialName in $partialNames) {    $filesToCopy = Get-ChildItem -Path $sourceDirectory -Filter "*$partialName*" -File | Select-Object -First $amount    foreach ($targetDirectory in $targetDirectories) {        foreach ($fileToCopy in $filesToCopy) {            $destinationPath = Join-Path $targetDirectory $fileToCopy.Name            Copy-Item -Path $fileToCopy.FullName -Destination $destinationPath            $logMessage = "Copied $($fileToCopy.FullName) to $destinationPath"            $logMessage | Out-File -FilePath $logFilePath -Append        }    }}

Here is the .ini file content being read in by the script

AMT=300PTN=BURGERS_A; ALIENS_ASRC=C:\\base\\test\\sourceTRG=C:\\base\\test\\dest1; C:\\base\\test\\dest2LOG=C:\\base\\log
