Rename file before processing it to the destination folder
Rename file before processing it to the destination folder
Q: Good day. Requesting your assistance on the below scenario. We need to rename the filename once the file is moved to the destination folder.
Original filename from the source is SOHF_JC_231012.csv. We need it to rename to SOHF_JCAQ_231012.csv.
May we know if this is possible in Limagito?
A: Yes this is possible.
Open the Destination setup > switch to Rename Tab > Enable “Rename Files during Copy/Move” option and use the following setup:
RegEx: (.*)_(.*)_(.*)
Replacement: \1_\2AQ_\3
#rename #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

How to rename a file keeping the last 7 characters intact
Q: I need assistance to set up a move rule and rename the file to the destination. The file name needs to keep the last 7 characters intact before the file extension name. For example if the original file name is “Aspect Windows Pty Ltd_398x272_1531309.pdf” – we need it renamed to “1531309.pdf” before it is moved to the destination directory. Any idea how I can set this up please?
A: This is possible using our Destination file renaming option
Please enable and setup ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move’ in your Destination setup:
RegEx: (.*)(.{7})\.(.*)
Replacement: \2.\3
Information about how to use regular expressions can be found here.
