For a folder matching the search multiple Datstores, searching for a folder root ".snapshot" "* _recent.

Hi all, I searched the internet for days to be able to find an example of a script or any code besides that will list all files in a warehouse of VMware vcenter, the majority of the code that I found used Get - VM to find the folder names. Get - VM is not useful for me.

The script I need must be able to locate a file ending with "* _recent" inside a folder named ".snapshots" located in the root of several data stores (not Local).

Summary of process:

Find all data centers

Locate all data warehouses

Search in each data store found a folder titled ".snapshot" at the root of the data store if ".snapshot" is NOT found, not found report and continue to the next data store.

If ".snapshot" determine whether a file ending with '_recent' is present .snapshot, found or not found report

It would be ideal if the results / report saved in the CSV format and shows, for each data store, if there is no ".snapshot" or «_recent»

Anyone out there can help with the creation of a script to fulfill my needs it please?

I'm not sure that this is even possible?

Kind regards

Troy.

You can use the provider of data store for this type of research.

Something like that

&{foreach($dc in Get-Datacenter){    foreach($datastore in Get-Datastore -Location $dc){        New-PSDrive -Location $datastore -Name DS -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\' | Out-Null        $snap = Get-ChildItem -Path DS:\ |             Where{$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Name -eq ".snapshot"}        if($snap){            $recent = Get-ChildItem -Path DS:\.snapshot |                Where{$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Name -match "_recent"}            if($recent){                $result = "Folder found"            }            else{                $result = ".snapshot\*_recent not found"            }        }        else{            $result = ".snapshot folder not found"         }        Remove-PSDrive -Name DS -Confirm:$false        $result | Select-Object @{N="Datacenter";E={$dc.Name}},            @{N="Datastore";E={$datastore.Name}},            @{N="Result";E={$_}}    }}} | Export-Csv report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

  • How to force the Explorer search to show ONLY the files that match the search target?

    I frequently need to search for files with brackets in the name of the file.    However, a bug in the Search Explorer means that search results will fill up with a lot of waste that does not match my search target.

    Example:

    At a command prompt "dir/s * (abc) *.» ' * ' usually works: the name of each file found will contain "(abc)".   (The only time that a search for the command line fails is when the version 8.3 of the name of the file matches the search target, but the name of the actual file does not work.)

    However, in Solution Explorer, look for "* (abc) *.» "*" returns all files with 'abc' in the name, and provides no way to filter the results so that I only see files with '(abc)' in the name of the file.

    This search bug means that you want "* (de) *.» ' * ' at the command prompt returns 72 hits, while searching with Explorer returns 7381 hits!

    Cancellation: Another inconvenience of Windows is when I work at a command prompt I get often unexpected results because the wildcard matching is done against both the full name of the file or folder and the name of 8.3.   Is there a way to force cmd.exe to restrict the wildcard matches only the complete names of the files and folders?  That is to say, is there a way to force cmd.exe to never, ever, use the 8.3 names?

  • The search in Windows Explorer has stopped working properly - it does not find the files which are there, but will find other files that match the search criteria

    Window 7

    Was working before, but have only allowed a number of updates to Windows that had been blocked for a while.

    For example. Type 'safe' in the search box. It finds files and directories with 'security' in the title, but not the files and directories that I can see are there with 'safe' in the title.

    When I search using the "safe * ' it seems to do exactly the same thing as"safe ".  It does not show only files beginning with 'safe'

    My suggestion was not ' safe * ' but ' name of the file: ~ safe * "(without the quotes).

  • I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send a PDF file and convert PDF files to Word. When I open a pdf file and you try to find the search shows no match, even if the word I'm looking for is in the document. Suggestions how to search?

    I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send a PDF file and convert PDF files to Word. When I open a pdf file and you try to find the search shows no match, even if the word I'm looking for is in the document. Suggestions how to search?

    A scanned document is an image; You can't find a picture.

    If the image contains text, recognition of characters (OCR) will convert the 'text' in the image in real text (searchable, editable).

    OCR can be performed automatically when converting a PDF to Word, using the ExportPDF service.

    To run OCR inline in a PDF document, you will need Acrobat.

    A scanned document is just an image; even if it contains text, it is not searchable.

    Put text in a scanned image available, you will need to perform the recognition of text (OCR), which can be made with Acrobat, but not the free player.

    HI, at the moment I have a cfquery as follows

    If the EntryName fiield is for example 'Shepton Mallett', it will be back if I search 'Shepton' or "Mallett" or 'Shepton Mallett', however if I spell 1 word of the search expression erroneous "i.e Shepton Mallatt", he finds no results. I realize that I have to split the sentence search and search on these two words, but not very well what is the right way to do it. I also wanted to strip of common words (IE, a, etc.) of the expression of research if it does not return loads of results. I prefer to keep if possible in sql (not verity)

    Thank you very much

  • Problem with the search for network path

    We have experienced a weird problem recently with our research. On a Windows 7 Machine, when you search for a file that is located on our file server, it will give you the files, but for ancient dates and not the most recent. In our case, when we find a file, I see the file is there but I do the search in the folder and it gives me no element matches your search if they have changed the 7/17 and later. Something before 7/17 is always available.

    I tried indexing, but I know that this will not work because it is a network location. Maybe is something that is wrong on the side of servers? This is a server of 2012. We have about 10 users affected by it, so the solution to the index of the network as a library location may not be enough and may just take us longer.

    Any ideas on if it's the workstation or the server? If so, what can be done to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

  • Change the search folder in a smart folder

    I have a lot of smart folders. All these smart folders have been defined, the search in a certain (i.e. filed) folder where I have all my files. I plan to move all my files to iCloud drive to an equivalent folder (which is archived). Is it possible to change all my smart folders to search in this new folder to avoid their creation from scratch again?

    You can create a symbolic link from your new folder archived at the same place the original file was.

    You will need to use the Terminal to create the link, but there may be third party GUI tools.

    In the Terminal, use cd to change your current working directory to the location of the old archived folder.

    Terminal opens in your home folder, so you can work from there. For example, if your archived file was in the Documents, use

    CD documents

    Once there, copy this leaving a space after him:

    ln s

    Then drag your archived file the iCloud drive on the Terminal window. It will finish the full path. Then just press return. Which will create the symbolic link by using the same name as the old.

    I tried with an Alias, but that has not worked. I had to use a symbolic link.

  • Remove options for sites to add to the search bar

    How the little green plus can prevent appering in my search bar? I don't want to anythin other than Google. Since the last update, it is not possible to double click previous text in the search in any bar. It's super annoying, when you double-click the word under the mousepoiner gets marked.

    In the search bar and various other places, you can triple-click to select the contents of the entire (multiple words).

    If you prefer the old style search bar and you want to roll back the clock for Firefox 33 times, here is the way:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the Search and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.search.showOneOffButtons to true to false

    This does not affect the current window, but each new window that you open (Ctrl + n) will be the old search bar.

  • How can I change the code of the search for a site that I added to the search bar?

    I added to my search bar YourDictionary . When I put in a word (for example, the minutiae) and press [Enter], the address bar shows, http://www.yourdictionary.com/search?ydQ=minutiae and the default search "search" Word is shown on the page that appears, not YourDictionary my desired search word. When I put in my desired word into the search field on the YourDictionary page, the address bar shows, http://www.yourdictionary.com/minutiae therefore, it seems that the FF search bar sends an incorrect code. How can I customize what it sends to YourDictionary or any site I want to search for. Thanks for a great browser.

    This search plugin seems to be broken.

    You can edit the yourdictionary.xml file in the searchplugins folder in Firefox profiles folder

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    Current model:

  • The search for bookmarks in the library can display of the folders containing each bookmark?

    I use the search function in the library under 'organize bookmarks' to help identify duplicate bookmarks. It would be much simpler if a column showing the folder was also indicated for each bookmark.

    After install and restart Firefox

    • Open the 'library' bookmarks > show all bookmarks

  • QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101__File Type problem! (Xp SP3) _ question: when double clicking on a folder in the search engine database appears and no files appear.

    -problem happens after messing around with 'file types' in 'options folders' BUT the records may not configured properly to correct the open method by setting the 'file type' back to 'open' in the file types.

    QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101

    History...

    I saw a tutorial online on how to change the icons of any file (text, folder, programs)
    In addition to the normal way to do it:

    The normal route was right - click folder, text, program or folder etc-> choose Properties > then choose Change icon

    The new way that I learned how to do that was - go to folder options in the control panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.

    The reason for me wanting to do other then the normal way is because I would like to point out that all RECORDS USE DIFFERENT TYPE of ICON RATHER THEN DEFAULT UGLY OF THAT folder BROWN ICON that windows XP USES

    the problem starts here... to (go into folder options in Control Panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.)

    Note that these are two icon files: the 'Change icon' button is available and highlighted on a launched the Advanced button, but not on the other...

    After messing around with New both of these icons of specific folder "Advanced settings" after closing and the application of the setting.

    What is happening now, it is that each folder I usually double-click thanks to my system all what happens is that the search method appears average while displaying no other files in the folder it self.

    I'm expieranced and you wrote the parameters passed to each "type of file"setting"for this purpose he adjusting back to the past and yet nothing happens...

    THE QUESTION IS >
    How to fix something like that

    &

    How do you get each folder in your system to view another icon rather than UGLY, LOW DOWN DIRTY DUNG COLORFUL FOLDER ICON DEFAULT.

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.
