New-Object : Cannot find an overload for "FileBasedTranslationMemory" and the ...

[FranckLMP]

I tried to copy PowerShell code from the sample and run it in PowerShell command-line and I get the following error:

New-Object : Cannot find an overload for "FileBasedTranslationMemory" and the
argument count: "6".

My Powershell code is as follows and I wonder what is wrong:

add-type -path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemory.dll' ;

Hello @FranckLMP ,

The error occurs because the constructor for the FileBasedTranslationMemory requires 8 parameters, you need to also add Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core.Tokenization.TokenizerFlags and Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemory.WordCountFlags, these are also enumerations.

Moreover, when calling the function "New-FileBasedTM" try to supply the parameter name for each passed parameter(Ex: New-FileBasedTM -filePath $sdltmpath -description $sdltmdesc -sourceLanguageName $sourceLanguage -targetLanguageName $targetLanguage -fuzzyIndexes $indexes -recognizers $recognizers -tokenizerFlags $tokenizerFlags -wordCountFlag $wordCountFlags ), because an error will occur if you don't. I will also update the PowerShellToolkit to fix this issue.

I've attached an updated script, hope this helps.
