Greetings!
I am a amatuer in powershell. After some digging in various forums, I found a simple powershell code which monitors a particular directory for any file changes(Creation) and if found, calls a batch file which copies the files to a designated path.
$folder = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\Documents\" # Enter the root path you want to monitor.
$filter = '*.*' # You can enter a wildcard filter here.
$fsw = New-Object IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder, $filter -Property @{IncludeSubdirectories = $false;NotifyFilter = [IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite'}
Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Created -SourceIdentifier FileCreated -Action {
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore green
cmd.exe /c 'C:\FileCopy\Test1.bat'
}
As you can see, this code monitors the documents folder of any user and if a new file is created/copied to this path, calls a Test1.bat file which contains a simple xcopy command to copy those files to a predefined directory path.
Now, what i want is a powershell script which monitors the said directory and if any changes found, gives the user a "SaveAs" dialogue box so user can choose his directory instead of just copying it to a fixed path.
Basically a file transfer box using which he can copy file/s to his/her selected directory.
Any guidance/help please.
Thanks
