    How to check the printer status before sending a pdf to the printer update

    How to check the printer status before sending a pdf to the printer

    Previous article: link

    We added a new Pascal Script function in version v2024.3.17.0

    Function psGetUrlContent(Const aUrl, aParams: String; var aError: String): String;

    Please check the previous article, we only changed the following part:

    • First Destination: Pascal Script
      • Please add the following script: link
      • We added the following Const values which you’ll need to adjust:
        • ctCheckPrinterConnection: This will add the possibility to check the printer using the URL of the printer (web page). A lot of network printers have an internal web server that we’ll be using to check if the printer is online.
          • Set this value to ‘TRUE’ if you want to use this option, otherwise set this Const to ‘FALSE’.
        • cpPrinterUrl: If ‘ctCheckPrinterConnection := True;’ then add the Url (web interface) of the Printer we need to check.
        • ..

    We added this update because the customer had a printer where, by default, only its web interface was enabled. In the previous article we used a telnet connection which seems to be disabled with some printer due to security reasons.

    How to move files to different ftp folders under the same root

    How to move files to different ftp folders under the same root on the same server

    Q: Conditional destination request. We are looking for an easy way (one channel) to move files to different ftp folders (more than 100 folders) under the same root on the same server, where filename prefix (3 char) is the key to which folder. Prefix and folder name are different.

    A few examples:
    • BBL > folder1
    • ABB > folder2
    • BYR > folder4
    • BYP > folder5
    • DAT > folder6
    I have been looking at your blog post without finding anything like it. The list of prefixes and folders could be a text table in the script or in a csv file. Do you have a script for this?
    A: Yes this is possible, please have a look at the following screenshots. This setup can be used with other Sources and Destinations too.
    – We used a Windows folder as Source:
    limagito file mover windows folder as source
    – Open our Pascal Script option
    limagito file mover pascal script option

    Please enable and add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:

    • Please add the following script: link
      • The script strips the first 3 characters from the filename by using ‘copy(psFilename, 1, 3)’
      • The stripped part is compared with ‘BBL’, ‘ABB’ .. ‘DAT’
      • Depending on the result of the compare, a folder name is added to our variable psVSA ( pascal script Var String A )
      • This psVSA variable will be used in the Destination setup as parameter (%VSA, which contains data from psVSA)
    • You’ll need to adjust the folder names and add more prefixes if needed
    files to different ftp folders
    – In the FTP as Destination Setup, please adjust the ‘Create Subdir’ option to:   %VSA\%SFS
    • Here we used the %VSA parameter, set in the Pascal Script, which contains the desired subdirectory name

    – Feedback customer:

    That looks easy. Thank you very much.

    If you need any help with this new option, please let us know.

    How to move empty subdirectories

    How to move empty subdirectories ( Windows folders only )

    Q: We are looking to create a File Mover rule that scans the source folder for subdirectories that are empty and move them to another destination. Would you be able to assist me in how to best approach this?

    A: This should be possible with a Windows Folder/share as Source and Destination. Remember, this is only needed when no files are being handled, otherwise this can be done using the default options within our file mover tool.

    You’ll only need to add a Source, no need to add a Destination. All is handled within the ‘Pascal Script’ as Source.

    limagito file mover pascal script as source

    • Please add the following script: link
    • Do not forget to adjust the ctSource and ctDestination Path (must end with a \ )
    • The script will scan the ctSource path for subfolders. For each subfolder found, it will check if any file exists. If not, then it will try to create this subfolder in the ctDestinationPath. If this succeeds then the Source subfolder will be removed.

    If you need any help with this request, please let us know.
