    How to setup a rule that reads a list of folders from a file

    How to setup a rule that reads a list of folders from a file

    Q: I wonder can you help me. I have a Source folder with hundreds of subfolders, each with a 5-digit numeric name –
    c:\source\23432, c:\source\76453 – you get the idea

    Inside each subfolder is a list of .txt and/or .inp files. – that’s kind of irrelevant.

    I’m trying to setup a rule that reads a list of folders from a file, one per line

    I want the rule to move t or copy the contents of just those subfolders to a destination which will also have the entry from the file somewhere in the destination path – e:\destinatio\<foldername>\target for eample

    I’ve tried use %FSA in various ways, but I’m hitting a brick wall. Any ideas?

    Limagito: Could you send me an example of such a file which contains the folders to copy

    It’s as simple as these  – so the source folders would, for example, be c:\source\<linefromfile> and the destination would be e:\dest\<linefromfile>

    list of folders from a file

    List of folders from a file\list of folders from a file

    Limagito: ok both text files are just examples I guess. Th text file to read from would always have the same name or would there be multiple txt files?

    For each rule, the text file will always be the same – one text file per job. The contents of each source folder however will change

    A: This is possible using a custom script.

    • We are using a Windows folder as source.

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    • This folder contains subfolders, each with a 5-digit nummer.

    limagito file mover test folder setup

     

    • Please open our ‘Pascal Script’ option:

    limagito file mover pascal script option

    • Please enable and add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ Pascal Script. Don’t forget to adjust the ctTxtFile const. The script will read the content of the external text file and will set to our %VSA variable. This %VSA variable will be used in the Directory setup later.

    You can download the script: here

    • The Directory Filter setup is very important in this case:
      • Enable ‘Include Subdirectories’
      • ‘Exclude Basedirectory’, because we only are interested in the content of the subfolders
      • Set ‘Subdirectory Filter Depth’ to ‘1’. Only the first level folder name is the one that will be used to check if it exists in the txt file.

    limagito file mover directory filter setup

    • Switch to the ‘Dir Name’, ‘Include’ tab:
      • Add  %VSA  as Directory Include Filter

    limagito file mover directory filter setup

    • Switch to ‘Advanced’ tab:
      • Set ‘SubDir Search Mode (WIN) to ‘Exclude Complete Invalid SubDirs’
        • The reason is that we will not scan invalid subfolders. So, if we can not find the folder name (5-digit numeric name) in the external text file, we’ll skip the subfolder completely.

    limagito file mover directory filter setup

    • We used a Windows Folder as Destination with default setup options:

    limagito file mover windows folder as Destination

    limagito file mover windows folder as destination setup

    • RunTime log result:

    limagito file mover runtime log result

    • Destination output result:

    limagito file mover test folders

    #filetransfer #filemanagement

    How to adjust text in a xml file

    How to adjust text in a xml file

    Q: How can I setup a watch folder for any xml files come in and search for specific wording and change it to another word and move it out to an output directory.

    For the attach example:

    • If you see the word “  <Main>1</Main>”  then change to <Main>Good</Main>
    • If you see other word beside “1” then chang to <Main>NoGood</Main>

    Example content:

    <?xml version=”1.0″?>
    <Header>
    <Main>1</Main>
    <name>Geen</name>
    <Date>221023</Date>
    </Plan>

    A: Yes this is possible using ‘Pascal Script’ as Destination.

    Source is a Windows folder:

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    We adjusted the ‘Include Filename Filter’ to *.xml because we only want to handle xml files here.

    limagito filemover include filename filter

    We added our ‘Pascal Script’ option as Destination:

    limagito file mover pascal script as destination

    We added the following script. Please do not forget to adjust the ctOutputPath const which must end with a \

    You can download the script: here

    <?xml version=”1.0″?>
    <Header>
    <Main>1</Main>
    <name>Geen</name>
    <Date>221023</Date>
