watch folder for automatic step to max conversion

Hi

Is there anyone who knows how to set up a watch folder with maxscript?
I would like my maxscript to continuously look for new step-files in a specific folder and then import and save a max-file in a new location.
I've read somewhere you can use dotnet within maxscript to accomplish this task but i need further instructions to make this happen.

Best regards, Henrik

Use a timer - maxscript timer or dotnet timer.
Download the UVPipe mod script. In the code a timer is used to check a certain folder. When in that folder an obj file is created then the script execute the rest of the code. The same can be used by you.
