How to check a file for presence of given string?
How can I check a file’s content?
Question: I want to activate a particular notification if a file includes specific information. How can I achieve this?
Answer: IPNetwork Monitor comes with several example custom monitors. One such script examines a file’s contents (and retrieves a designated value). This VBScript (file_content.vbs) helps locate specific text within a given file. To utilize it, find the **ipnetwork_file_content.vbs** file in the scripts directory of your IPNetwork Monitor installation and select the ‘Run Script’ program type. The required parameters are:
filename mode string credentials
Here, ‘filename’ represents the file’s name, ‘mode’ is either ‘C’ (count – determine the number of instances of ‘string’) or ‘F’ (locate the initial numeric string following the first occurrence of ‘string’); credentials, if supplied, follow the same format as the ‘-l’ parameter for the dirsize_kb example program included with IPNetwork Monitor.
