My Movies and Powershell
by admin on Nov.29, 2009, under Technology
I have a rather large media collection and wanted to start utilizing My Movies to catalog all of them. The interesting part with My Movies is that every movie must be in its own directory. Since I have too many to want to do this manually, I decided to write a script to do this for me. It creates the directory from the name of the file and moves the file into the directory it just created. After it is done doing that, it then scans the directories to see whether or not the movies have been added to the My Movies database. If it doesn’t detect that the movie was added, it creates a list and displays it with notepad. As you add the movies into the database, every new scan will not show the movie after it was added.
Please feel free to modify – let me know if you think I can enhance this somehow.

Integrating Microsoft Log Parser in Windows Powershell
I was tasked with parsing our IIS log files to look for certain text in the log files. I then needed to email out the results to certain individuals. After researching the topic, it seemed that no one had any information pertaining to Powershell and Log Parser. I decided to go down this road alone and came out with success!
