How can I use the File Scanning Module to scan for strings if I am uncertain when a file is created or destroyed?
Scanning such a file for strings can be achieved by leaving the module on continuously and disabling the alarm triggered when the file doesn’t exist. This can be done by setting an invalid “Alarm Window” in the “Filename” field of the File Scanning Module. 1. Right-click on the Filename field and select “Attribute Editor”. 2. Click on the “Alarms” tab. 3. Specify an active window that doesn’t exist. For example, enter: Time > 6:00:00 PM && Time < 6:00:00 AM This means you will never trigger an alarm when the file doesn't exist, but the module is always enabled so it will scan for the patterns you want any time it does exist. Note: An active window of "Year equals 1970" would also work.
