I found a FileSystemWatcher script online to monitor a folder for new files. The script only runs in PowerShell ISE. When I run the PS1 file, nothing happens.
I called the PS1 file from a batch file. Here is the code:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File D:\Scripts\Log\scripts\EnableDirMon.ps1
Here is the code from the PS1 file:
$extensions = Get-Content "d:\scripts\log\videoextensions.txt"
$downloaddir = Get-Content "d:\scripts\log\downloaddir.txt"
foreach($ext in $extensions){
$extname = "*." + $ext
$folder = $downloaddir
$filter = $extname
$fsw = New-Object IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder, $filter -Property @{
IncludeSubdirectories = $true
NotifyFilter = [IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite'
}
$onCreated = Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Created -SourceIdentifier $ext -Action {
#$path = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
$check = $name | Select-String -Pattern "\\"
if(-not ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($check)) -eq "True"){
$split = $name -split "\\"
$split = $split[1]
$split | Add-Content "d:\scripts\log\videolog.txt"
} else {
$name | Add-Content "d:\scripts\log\videolog.txt"
}
}
}
Any suggestions on how to get the script to run would be appreciated.
