    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    Q: We receive | (pipe) delimited files (no double quotes):

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310001|0000000122|10/25/2023 1:54 PM
    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM
    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM

    Is it possible to create separate files of rows with the same content in column 4?

    The filename(s) would be incremental:

    original .csv

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310001|0000000122|10/25/2023 1:54 PM

    original1.csv

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM

    Thanks for such a great product!

    A: Yes this is possible using our Pascal Script option

    We used a Windows folder as Source. In this folder we’ll search for .csv files.

    limagito file mover as source

    Since we are only interested in .csv files we added a filename include filter. We want to be sure we’ll only handle .csv files.

    limagito filemover filename filter

    As Destination we used our Pascal Script option. Please replace the default Destination Pascal Script.

    You can download the script: here

    The script will read the csv file with  a pipe as delimiter (this can be adjusted > ctPipe constant). We’ll check the content of column 4 which is index 3 (TStringList = zero index based).

    tmpCol4 := tmpPipe.Strings[3];

    Output Result:

    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    RunTime Log Result:

    limagito file mover runtime log result

    #csv #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

    How to move files based on data from a csv file

    How to move files based on data from a csv file

    Q: I have the Limagoto X software installed, and I would like to know if it’s possible to move files, based on some information from a csv file? I have an csv file with some order numbers, and the folders I want to move, are label with these order numbers.

    A line in the csv file would look like this:

    The file structure looks like this:

    limagito file mover folder structure example

    So I would have to extract “D” first letter of “Donald Duck” -> then look in folder “Donald Duck”\ordre and search for 9999999 and move that folder to a new location with the same folder structure.

    A: We asked and received a dummy csv file, data content lookes like:

    Art;Ordrenr.;Arkiveret;Arkivdato;Jobnavn;Kundenavn;Statuskode;Ordretype;S‘lger;Ordrestyrer
    Ordre;9876543;SAND;17-11-2023;Arkiveringstest;Limagito Complete;AABEN_ARKIV;ARK;TEAM-E;MHOE

    So in this example:

    • We would strip the first char of the ‘Kundenavn’ field:  L
    • Next it would be the full name of the same ‘Kundenavn’ field:  Limagito Complete
    • Add fixed text:  Ordre
    • And finally the value of data field ‘Ordre’:  9876543

    Result as Directory filter: *\L\Limagito Complete\Ordre\9876543\*

    • As source we used a Windows folder, root folder to start from is ‘Jobs’ :

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    • Next we’ll need to add a ‘Pascal Script’ to strip data from the csv file and use it as directory filter:

    limagito file mover pascal script option

    • Enable and add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ Pascal Script:

    You can download the script: here

    Do not forget to adjust the ctDataPath const (must end with a \ ). In this path we’ll search for .csv data file(s) with a date structure in its filename like ‘YYYY-MM-DD’. This can, of course, be adjusted.

    limagito fil emover move files based on data from a csv file

    • Directory filter setup:

    limagito file mover directory filter setup

    The %VSA (= Var String A) configured by the previous script will be used as ‘Directory Name Include Filter’:

    limagito file mover directory filter

    This ‘Allow parameters in Directory Name Filter’ option should be enabled by default:

    limagito file mover directory filter

    • As Destination we used a Windows folder:

    limagito file mover windows folder as destination

    • RunTime log result:

    limagito file mover runtime log result

    #csv #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any help with this ‘move files based on data from a csv file’ request, please let us know.

    How to merge and add filenames to csv datafiles

    How to merge and add filenames to csv datafiles

    Q: I have a new daily job where I will receive 3 CSV files. I need to merge these together and also add a new field to the data that contains the original filename as I need to split them later on in the process and use the original filename to send back to the client. Also, I may not always get all 3 files so the rule needs to work for receiving 1,2, or all 3 files.

    We will run the rule at 18:00 for example and process however many files have been uploaded, then run the rule every 1 hour after to pick up any files that the client has uploaded late. The ideal scenario would be for all 3 files to be uploaded by the client by the scan time, but they want us to be able to pick up any files they may upload late.

    The data does not contain headers either. I’m sure I have asked this before but I can’t find the solution if I have, I have found similar and have tried to amend it to suit but failed miserably.

    A: We asked and received the following example files:

    • BTW_Invites_20231023_1.csv
    • BTW_Reminders_20231023_1.csv
    • BTW_Results_20231023_1.csv

    We used a Windows folder as Source:

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    We added the following ‘Include Filename’ Filter because we want to be sure to only process .csv files:

    limagito file mover filename filter setup

    As Destination we add our ‘Pascal Script’ option:

    limagito file mover destination setup

    Destination Pascal Script, do not forget to adjust the ctOutputPath const (Path must end with a \ ).

    The script will add the filename of the source csv file to the end of each entry of the merged csv file. The Destination merged csv file is determined by stripping parts of the source filename. In our example it will be: ‘BTW_Merged_20231023_1.csv’.

    This script is just an example and it can be adjusted so it fits your needs, just let us know.

    You can download the script: here

    limagito file mover merge and add filenames script

    RunTime Log Result:

    limagito file mover runtime log result

    #csv #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any help with this ‘merge and add filenames’ option, please let us know.
