Hello,
I am trying to parse through a log file searching for lines that contain strings. The below scripts works to pull all line that have "Found file" in it but I can't get it to retrieve conditions on other lines (i.e. "Records IN" & "File copied"). How can I modify the below to pull lines with those characters strings in them as well?
$path = pushd \\Eldorado\el\Processing\IVR_New\Log
$files = Dir -filter *.txt | Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-2) }
ForEach ($file in $files)
{
Get-Content $file |
Select-String -pattern "Found file"|
Format-Table -property Line
}
Thanks,
Sean

Try
Select-String -pattern "Found file", "Records IN", "File copied" |

Just an FYI if you run Get-Help Select-Sting where you see -Pattern <string[]) that [] means -Pattern takes an array. That applies to all items with a <string[]> in the description. Like Get-WmiObject -ComputerName <string[]>.

Good FYI and thanks! That will most definitely help me in the future.
