Powershell Email Notification File Created - powershell

Question

I have written a code for PowerShell to notify me when a new file has been added to a designated folder, but every time the file is opened it creates a temp file and I keep getting those emails each time I open it. I have tried to create an if-else statement so that the temp file emails go to a different email address. Ideally, I would like to not receive those emails at all. If any of you know of a way that this is possible please help me. I have copied my code below.
$folder = "File Folder Path"
$mailserver = "mailserver"
$recipient = "Recipient#Email.com"
$fsw = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder -Property #{
IncludeSubdirectories = $true
EnableRaisingEvents=$true
}
$created = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $fsw -EventName Created -SourceIdentifier CreatedEvent -Action {
$item = Get-Item $eventArgs.FullPath
$s = New-Object System.Security.SecureString
$anon = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON", $s)
If ($fsw -ccontains '~') {
Send-MailMessage -To "MyEmail#Email.com" `
-From "Email#Email.com" `
-Subject “File Creation Event” `
-Body "A file was created: $($eventArgs.FullPath)" `
-SmtpServer $mailserver `
-Credential $anon
}
Else {
Send-MailMessage -To $recipient `
-From "Email#Email.com" `
-Subject “File Creation Event” `
-Body "A file was created: $($eventArgs.FullPath)" `
-SmtpServer $mailserver `
-Credential $anon
}
}

Answer 1

Contains works on an array, not a string. Use -like or -match.
If you don't want an e-mail, don't write the code to send one.
For example, this only send an e-mail if your temp file does not contain ~. As there is no else, no action is taken if the file name does contain ~.
If ($fsw -notlike '*~*') {
Send-MailMessage -To $recipient `
-From "Email#Email.com" `
-Subject “File Creation Event” `
-Body "A file was created: $($eventArgs.FullPath)" `
-SmtpServer $mailserver `
-Credential $anon
}
