    Not sure if you can help but I might ask:

    We are in the middle of migrating our file shares off a NetWare environment and onto a CIFS/Windows environment. We are using the Quest NDS Migrator tools to complete this so we can keep details about each file, date, owner, last accessed.

    One thing that differs between NetWare and Windows is the way rights are achived. for example; if I have a directory structure that is 5 directories deep, \folder1\folder\2folder3\folder4\folder5 and give a group full control to folder5, within NetWare it knows that the group will need the traverse right to the above 4 directories. In Windows this is not the case, we need to add the group to each of the above directories and give the traverse right.

    My question is; do you have a powershell script that could complete the traverse rights for a given directory. This way we can keep the same folder structure that we have in our current NetWare environment.

    This would save a lot of time and effort. Any help would be greatly appericated.

    Thanks
    Aaron

    i have a number of text files in a folder . i need a script that can search for a pattern within the text file and give me as output the enitire text in that line that is found wit that pattern.

    example. if line 10 in the text file contains “CUSTUMER” it will out put all text in line 10 and i want it to print one line above. so it will print line 9 also.

    this is what i have so far my script works but its only printing the line with the pattern i want to print the line above. so if the patttern is in line 10 . i want it to print line 9.

    Please for your help i am new to power shell.

    $StartDate = get-date
    $EndDate = get-date

    Get-ChildItem ‘C:\Users\D0NTEZ\Desktop\Script\integration\storage’ -Recurse | Where-Object {($_.LastWriteTime.Date -ge $StartDate.AddDays(-2)) -and
    ($_.LastWriteTime.Date -le $EndDate.Date)} | Copy-Item -Destination ‘C:\Users\D0NTEZ\Desktop\Script\integration\temp’

      Edmond,

      The Select-String cmdlet has a Context parameter that should enable you to do what you need, for further details please run this command “help Select-String -Parameter Context”.

      Hope this helps,
