Filesystem

Loop through results from Select-String

Here is an example that greps for a string and uses the results in a loop to determine if some action should be taken

$pattern = "tachytelic"
$files = Select-String -Path "d:\script\*.txt" -Pattern $pattern
foreach ($file in $files) {
  $filename=$file.Filename
    $item = get-item $file.Path
    "File '{0}' matches the pattern '{1}'" -f $item.FullName, $pattern
    "It was last modified on {0}" -f $item.LastWriteTime
 
  $response = Read-Host -Prompt "Set the archive bit on this file?" 
  If ($response -eq 'Y') {
    $item.attributes="Archive"
    }
}
