Watching new files being made in a folder?

[Ahmed_Salih]

Hello!

I have a case in which new files are being made in a directory every x seconds. My question is how do I use Filewatching.watch_folder in such a way that is registers and prints to the terminal each newly made file? (File Events · The Julia Language)

I also found this repository:

GitHub - JuliaPluto/BetterFileWatching.jl: FileWatching but based on...

Is this perhaps better to use, if I need it to catch all events?

Thank you.

Kind regards

Apparently no one really knows, if you are stuck on a similar point in the future I advise for now to have a look through this thread:

Thank you for your help and time - it lets me progress my general code now. I do hope though that this becomes much better, because I find it so unbelievable that a language as Julia, which is good at so many things, actually struggles to properly close down subtasks and perform IO operations - th…

Or calling an external library you are familiar with.

I marked this as solution until/if someone provides a much better answer than what I did here

Kind regards
