Custom script samples

These samples show practical ways to use custom scripts in Automate MFT tasks.

Sample scripts

Add a new file to the cache

powershell

$newItem = Add-MftItem -Name 'mine.txt'
Set-MftContent -Item $newItem -Value 'this is the new item content'

Remove files that are named ‘1.txt’ and change the content of the others

powershell

$items = Get-MftItem

foreach ($item in $items) {
    if ($item.Name -eq ""1.txt"") {
        Remove-MftItem -Item $item
    }else {
        Set-MftContent -Item $item -Value 'brand new content'        
    }
}

Rename files and change the output directory to new-output

powershell

$items = Get-MftItem

foreach ($item in $items) {
    Rename-MftItem -Item $item -NewName "new-output/$($item.Name)-renamed"
}
