PowerShell FileSystemWatcher exit while ($true) - powershell

Question

I need this script to loop until it does the action but I can't seem to break the loop.
# SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YES/NO
$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
$watcher.Path = "C:\TransX\InputTriggers\"
$watcher.Filter = "IVANS_TRIGGER_FILE.trig"
$watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $false
$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true
# DEFINE ACTIONS AFTER AN EVENT IS DETECTED
$action = {
$path = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
$logline = "$(Get-Date), $changeType, Ivans File Arrived"
Add-Content "C:\TransX\InputTriggers\ProcessLog.txt" -Value $logline
Start-Process C:\TransX\Transxdl.bat
Remove-Item C:\TransX\InputTriggers\IVANS_TRIGGER_FILE.trig
break
}
# DECIDE WHICH EVENTS SHOULD BE WATCHED
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Created" -Action $action
#Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Changed" -Action $action
#Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Deleted" -Action $stopScript
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Renamed" -Action $action
while ($true) {sleep 5}
The break command in the $action isn't working.

BREAK and CONTINUE will only work this way when used inside a loop, your action is not in the loop itself.
What you could try, is using a variable like $ContinueWatching for your loop and switch it from the Action.
Example:
$ContinueWatching = $true
$Action = {
# <Your code here>
# <Remove break>
# StopWatching and Exit Script
$global:ContinueWatching = $false
}
While ($ContinueWatching) {
Start-Sleep -s 1
}
