    Q&A 39: Is it possible to setup a wildcard config for source directories?

    Q: I was curious if it is possible to setup a wildcard config for source directories.  In this example, folders with media are created every January 1st.  I like the source path to be something like \\MyServer\MyShare\media\202*  , essentially only looking for folders with a year of 2020 or greater.

    A: Yes this is possible. Could you please try:

    – Setup WIN as Source folder. Directory: \\MyServer\MyShare\media\
    Limagito File Mover WIN as Source
    (ignore the red text, it’s just an example)
    Limagito File Mover WIN as Source Setup
    – Add the following Directory Filter Setup:
    We’ll exclude files in the base folder (\\MyServer\MyShare\media\)

    We added a Subdirectory Include Name Filter:

    Important, we’ll also exclude subfolders of invalid Subdirectories.

    Feedback user: Thank you. This seems to work.
    If you need any help with this ‘wildcard config for source directories’ request, please let us know.

    Q&A 38: I would like to log the create date of the file being moved

    Q: I would like to log the create date of the file being moved. Can you please advise if there is a way filemover can be setup to log the create date of the file being moved. As of now we don’t see this info in the log file. Is there a setting in the app that we can tweak to control what all is logged in the log file?
    A: We added some extra Pascal Script functions in version v2020.12.30.0 to achieve this.

    Please open the Pascal Script option of your Rule:

    Limagito File Mover Pascal Script option

    Enable and Add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:

    Var
      tmpDateTime: TDateTime;
      tmpDateStr: String;
    Begin
      psExitCode:= 1;
     
      // Creation Time
      tmpDateTime := psGetCreationTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Creation Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
     
      // Creation Time Utc
      tmpDateTime := psGetCreationTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Creation Time Utc of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
     
      // Last Access Time
      tmpDateTime := psGetLastAccessTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Access Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
     
      // Last Access Time Utc
      tmpDateTime := psGetLastAccessTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Access Utc Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
     
      // Last Write Time
      tmpDateTime := psGetLastWriteTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Write Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
     
      // Last Write Time Utc
      tmpDateTime := psGetLastWriteTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
      tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Write Utc Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
    End.

    Limagito File Mover Pascal Script Get Creation Time

    RunTime Log Result:

    Limagito File Mover RunTime log

    In the example we added ‘Creation Time (Utc)’, ‘Last Access Time (Utc)’ and ‘Last Write Time (Utc)’. You can, of course, remove the parts you do not need from the Pascal Script.

    If you need any help with this ‘log the create date’ request, please let us know.
