Lower case file rename using regular expression
Q: We are having some trouble coming up with a proper reg-ex that will rename our files properly, and would like some advice.
We are receiving files that are named as follows.
ABCDE_ABC
We would like to rename them to
ABCDE_abc
We have found several reg-ex commands that will do this, but none of them seem to work in the Limagito application. I am sure we have something wrong, but I am unable to find something that will give us the output that we want.
Do you have any suggestions? Or perhaps an example string?
Q: Yes this is possible using our File Rename option in your Destination setup:
Destination “File Rename” Setup
> We are receiving files that are named as follows: ABCDE_ABC
> We would like to rename them to ABCDE_abc
We guess these file have a file extension so you could use:

#FileTransfer #RegEx

Move to second destination but only if first destination fails
Q: Move to second destination but only if first destination fails.
I was wondering is it possible to set up Limagito with 2 destinations where it defaults to destination 1 and only moves to destination 2 when destination 1 fails.
A: Yes this is possible. Please open our ‘Function’ setup and select ‘Preference Order’ as Destination Option.

Sharing destination file names between destinations
Q: Sharing destination file names between destinations. When a rule has two destinations, and the first destination renames the file, is there a way to get that destination file name as a replacement parameter in the next destination? Specifically, I have a rule that uses a chain of 70+ regex rules to rename the file to a Win destination (ID1), and I want to pass the destination file name to an HTTP WebForm in the next destination (ID2). I’d rather do the rename once and reference the results in later destinations, than have to build all those rename rules again.
A: We added a new option in version v2021.12.18.0 to achieve this.
Renaming, Added Renamed Var %RFN, %RFP, .. (v2021.12.18.0) [+]
%RFN = Renamed File Name
%RFW = Renamed file name Without extension
%RFD = Renamed File Dir
%RFP = Renamed File Path
It should be used with multiple Destinations.
We added some screenshots to get you started. In our example we added two WIN Destinations.
The file renaming of the First Destination in our example:
A simple renaming example where we add ‘Prefix-‘ to the filename:
So after the first Destination the %RFN var will containe the renaming result of the First Destination. This %RFN var can now be used as replacement paramater in the remaining Destinations.
As a test we added the following renaming setup in the Second Destination. We replace the original filename with the content of %RFN var. You can also use the %RFN var as replacement parameter in other options the remaining Destinations.
