I just downloaded and installed the win32utils installer. When I try to
run the sample script provide in changenotify.txt
require "win32/changenotify"
include Win32
# Wait for any writes to files in the C:\ drive.
filter = ChangeNotify::LAST_WRITE
cn = ChangeNotify.new("C:\\",true,filter)
cn.wait{ |s|
puts "Something changed"
puts "File: " + s.file_name
puts "Action: " + s.action
}
I get the following error.
:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/ipc.so: invalid

What am I doing wrong?
You'll need to upgrade to 0.4.2. You can either build from source or
download the .so file directly, rename it to "changenotify.so", and
install it under c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32\win32.
I downloaded the file and renamed it according to your instructions but
I am still getting the same error.

I acutally found out that I had 2 copies of changenotify.so in the ruby
folder. After deleting the older one it is working.
It works but it exits after a file change. Is it possible to
continuously monitor the folder?
thanks

Whoops. Download the latest win32-ipc and build from source or install
the .so file in the same directory as before.
Thanks for the help. I am still getting the following error when a file
event occurs.
Something changed
win32change.rb:11: undefined method `file_name' for #<Array:0x2cab5c8>
(NoMethodError)
from win32change.rb:9:in `wait'
from win32change.rb:9
Here's the script I am using.

Try this one:
cn.wait{ |arr|
arr.each{ |info|
p info.file_name
p info.action
}
} while true
#
# cn.wait{ |arr|
# arr.each{ |info|
# p info.file_name
# p info.action
# }
# } while true
#
# Regards,
that works for me.
btw, Daniel, would you know how to monitor file/dir changes in usbs? I have no idea yet since usbs are dynamic (now you see them, now you dont).
