Watch folder for changes

[R. Michael Walker]

I wish to watch a folder for when a new file is created. When the file is created I want to get the name of the file that is created and change the name and move it to a new folder. I can only find where I can watch only individual files. I hope somebody can help with this.

Use the File Modified context, choose a folder and choose "Create" under Event.

I would recommend the CloseWrite event instead in the File Modified event so that you're sure that the file is done writing :)

Whichever file event context you choose the new folder name will be available in the array %evtptm
