Can't seem to get original file to process gets errors listed above.. sample file will process.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks again

ZZartin, after I created my sample file that I attached, and ran your sample script against it worked, and dumped the tags out like expected.

The file contains CRLF for each...

Sorry Jeff,    --- Thanks ZZartin for sample... I did include error messages from run

To you both sorry for not including a sample file to work from.. This sample has...

cool thanks... I'll give it a test against my file..

When I run this code:

It pops up a message:

cmdlet Export-Csv at command pipeline position 1

Supply values for the following parameters:

InputObject:

Not sure why it's doing this..

$match_array = "error",...

I tried to goggle what you mentioned but above, but didn't find examples..

Thanks.

Jeff,

Looks like your mockup is exactly what I looking for, it doesn't seem to be finding anything from match_array . Would case

have any bearing on Matches?

Thanks again for your help...

Are you referring to the multiple job outputs?  We have a nightly process that copies previous days logs\output to a archive folder, so actually we won't get multiple outputs.

I would like to maybe add a date to the process to show which day the error refers too.

Sample output from csv:

#TYPE Selected.Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo

"Path","LineNumber","Line"

"\\ftpsrv\logs\EXTRACT.20741061-1.stdout","102","Authentication failed."

It shows the Path with filename, and gives me the line in the file it found a match then the MESSAGE.

I'm running thru folders where output from job processing happens and sometimes the product we use to run\schedule jobs

doesn't detect and error condition even though the SP or scripts output...

Thanks very much for reply, and I know you said un-tested code, but I was trying to get values for the $found_files to see

what was returned and trying to understand...

That is my struggle multiple get-childitem calls and storing outputs to single variable to dump to csv.

Thanks.

The multiple folders are from different machines.
