How to add a record to a csv file
How to add a record to a csv file
Q: I have a job which is processed through another bit of software, I get 1 file in and at the end of the process, I can have over 100 data files.
I need to add a record to the start of each file with the same structure, the fields can be empty but I do need to populate 2 of the fields.
Sequence fields needs to be 000000
Outname fields needs to be the name of the data file
I then need to add a record at the end of the file but only 1 field needs to be populated
Sequence = 999999
Is this achievable in Limagito? I can do this within the software that processes the data but it will be a very long process to set up.
A: This should be possible using our scripting option.
We used a Windows folder as Source:
We added the following Include Filename filter because we want to be sure we only are going to handle csv files:
As Destination we used our PScript (Pascal Script) option:
Please add the following Pascal Script
Please add the following script: link
Do not forget to adjust the ctOutputPath ( path must end with a \ )
This is the path where the adjusted csv files will be saved
Example content of csv source file before changes:
Example content of csv destination file after changes:

How to export all rules to CSV with column name, source and destination
Is there a way to export all Limagito rules to CSV or Excel with the column of name, source and destination?
In a recent version of Limagito File Mover we added the following Pascal Script function to achieve this:
Function psExportRuleDataAsCSV(Const aFile, aData, aDelimiter: String): String;
aFile = Output Csv file, e.g. ‘C:\Temp\RuleList.csv’
aData = a ; seperated list of items you want to add ( When empty string we’ll use ‘1;2;3;4’ )
1 = RuleID
2 = DisplayName
3 = Source
4 = Destination
5 = Rule Status (version v2024.9.7.0 and up)
0 = Unknown
1 = Scanning Disabled
2 = Rule in Hold
11 = Delete Function: Enabled
12 = Delete Function: Disabled
13 = Delete Function: Thread(s) Terminating
14 = Delete Function: Thread(s) Running
15 = Delete Function: Error as Info Status
21 = Move Function: Enabled
22= Move Function: Disabled
23 = Move Function: Thread(s) Terminating
24 = Move Function: Thread(s) Running
25 = Move Function: Error as Info Status
31 = Copy Function: Enabled
32 = Copy Function: Disabled
33 = Copy Function: Thread(s) Terminating
34 = Copy Function: Thread(s) Running
35 = Copy Function: Error as Info Status
6 = GroupName (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
7 = Information
8 = RuleSchedule (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
9 = GlobalSchedule (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
20 = RuleLogFile (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
21 = RuleLogFileName (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
22 = RuleLogFilePath (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
23 = GlobalLogFile (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
24 = GlobalLogFileName (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)
25 = GlobalLogFilePath (version v2024.10.15.0 and up)

aDelimiter = csv delimiter used in the csv outputfile

Setup is easy, you’ll only need to add our ‘Pascal Script’ option as Source
Do not forget to adjust the ‘ctOutputCsv’ const:
Please add the following script: link
This is all you need to do, just enable and trigger the Rule now
Output Csv file content:
RuleID,DisplayName,Source,Destination
1,UNZIP Files Mike,[WIN]C:\Test\Out_Zip\,ID1[ZIP]C:\Test\Out_Zip\Out\
2,WIN > Google Cloud Storage,[WIN]C:\Test\In\,ID2[GCLOUD]storage.googleapis.com/limagito/test
3,GCloud > WIN,[GCLOUD]storage.googleapis.com/limagito/Test,ID1[WIN]C:\Test\Out\GCloud\

How to remove the header row from a CSV file
How to remove the header row from a CSV file
Q: We have a CSV file that contains a header row. Is it possible for Limagito to remove the first row in the file when we move it to a new folder? Both the start and ending locations are on a windows server.
A: Yes, this is possible. Please have a look at the following screenshots.
The customer is using a Windows folder as Source so we used this also in our example:
We added an include filename filter so we are 100% we’ll only pickup .csv files:
In our Destination setup we added our ‘Pascal Script’ option:
Please add the following script (v1): link
We also added an alternative for the first script. In this script you can enable or disable the “TrailingLineBreak = finishing line break” (v2): link
psSaveListToFile(tmpList, tmpOutputFile, False);
psSaveListToFile(tmpList, tmpOutputFile, True);
We even added a third possibility where you can change the encoding and BOM of the resulting Csv file (v3): link
https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-be/windows/win32/intl/code-page-identifiers
psSaveTxt2File(tmpList.Text, tmpOutputFile, ‘UTF-8’, True)
If you would need a different option, please let us know, many options are possible.
