Now, every time a file is copied or otherwise created the while loop is run. I am checking for a CREATE rather than a CREATE,ISDIR and the file has the correct extension.

Andrew

thank you very much your suggestions have been very useful,

I would like to add the function to check the email from a text file.
If the variable $mail is present, togheter other event (CREATE and .xlsx) proceed with Echo "OK"
otherwise with echo "ERROR"

This way it does not work, I do not understand much about expression and operators

can you help me another time?

Code:

#!/bin/bash 
HOTFOLDER=$PWD/HOTFOLDER

inotifywait -q -m -e create ${HOTFOLDER} | while read folder event file
do

filename="${file##*/}"
name=$(echo "${filename%.*}")
mail=$(awk -F ',' -v var="$name" '$1==var {print $2,$3}' /address.txt)

if [[ "$event" =~ ^CREATE$ ]] && [[ "${file}" =~ \.xlsx$ ]] && [[ "$mail" = '' ]]
        then
                echo "ERROR"

         else
                echo "OK"
         fi
  done

CREATE TEXT SEARCH 
CONFIGURATION(7)				   SQL Commands 			       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION(7)

NAME

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION - define a new text search configuration

SYNOPSIS

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name (
	   PARSER = parser_name |
	   COPY = source_config
       )

DESCRIPTION

       CREATE  TEXT  SEARCH CONFIGURATION creates a new text search configuration. A text search configuration specifies a text search parser that
       can divide a string into tokens, plus dictionaries that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching.

       If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration initially has no mappings from token  types  to	dictionaries,  and
       therefore will ignore all words. Subsequent ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION commands must be used to create mappings to make the configura-
       tion useful. Alternatively, an existing text search configuration can be copied.

       If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is  created  in  the  current
       schema.

       The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.

       Refer to in the documentation for further information.

PARAMETERS

       name   The name of the text search configuration to be created. The name can be schema-qualified.

       parser_name
	      The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration.

       source_config
	      The name of an existing text search configuration to copy.

NOTES

       The PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an existing configuration is copied, its parser selection is copied too.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION statement in the SQL standard.
