Hey guys,
I am a scripting noob but I am having a ball learning Powershell to get it to do all the things I want it to do.
I have found the script from this blogpost "Use PowerShell to Monitor for the Creation of New Files" will do part of what I want but I am having some trouble that requires some assistance.
I would like to modify the script so that when a new file is created I can pass the file path that is returned by it, to rename the newly created file with a timestamp and make the file read only. Then I would like to restart the monitoring ad infinitum.
So where I am stuck is trying to convert the output from the file monitoring to something that I can use as well as making the loop.
If you can resist the urge to feed me a fish and just give me a point in the right direction instead I would prefer it. Otherwise I wont have learned as much and I need to keep asking your for fish, if you get what I'm saying. :)
Cheers.
