Move 1 file to 1 location and another file to a different location
Q: Is it possible to move 1 file to 1 location and another file to a different location but only when a file with a specific extension is present? I’m processing a job where I create a data file with print information and a PDFfile, in the Main location there will be .csv file
Main Location
.csv
At some point a pdf file will appear in the main location i.e.
.csv
.pdf
Can I create a rule where
It only starts when a .pdf is present
Moves the .pdf file to 1 location and the .csv file to a different location?
A: Yes this is possible using a bit of Pascal Script. We added some screenshots from an example to get you started.
We added a local Windows folder as Source:
Important is to add the following FileName Include Filters. We’ll scan for ‘*.csv’ and ‘*.pdf’ files.
Open the Pascal Script option:
Enable and Add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ Pascal Script:
Begin psExitCode:= 1; // ... add your code here psVSA := ''; End.
Enable and Add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:
Var tmpExt: String; tmpFile: String; Begin psExitCode := 0; // ... add your code here tmpExt := ExtractFileExt(psFileName); // Check for pdf if csv exists If tmpExt = '.csv' Then Begin tmpFile := psStringReplace(psFileName, tmpExt, '.pdf'); If FileExists(psFilePath + tmpFile) or (Pos(psFilePath + tmpFile, psVSA) <> 0) Then Begin psLogWrite(1, '', 'File ' + tmpFile + ' Exists'); psVSA := psVSA + ';' + psFilePath + psFileName; psExitCode := 1; End; End; // Check for csv if pdf exists If tmpExt = '.pdf' Then Begin tmpFile := psStringReplace(psFileName, tmpExt, '.csv'); If FileExists(psFilePath + tmpFile) or (Pos(psFilePath + tmpFile, psVSA) <> 0) Then Begin psLogWrite(1, '', 'File ' + tmpFile + ' Exists'); psVSA := psVSA + ';' + psFilePath + psFileName; psExitCode := 1; End; End; End.
Enable and Add the following ‘On Destinations‘ Pascal Script:
Begin psExitCode := -1; // .csv files to Destination ID1 If (psDestinationID = 'ID1') And (ExtractFileExt(psFileName) = '.csv') Then psExitCode := 1; // .pdf files to Destination ID2 If (psDestinationID = 'ID2') And (ExtractFileExt(psFileName) = '.pdf') Then psExitCode := 1; End.
Add two Destinations. Important, the first Destination (ID1) should receive hte csv files and the second Destination (ID2) should receive the pdf files.
RunTime Log Result. The Csv file goes to the first Destination and only when a pdf file with the same name exists. The pdf file itself goes to the second Destination.

Send different on success or failure notifications based on file type
Q: Is it possible in the same moving rule to have it send different on success or failure notifications based on file type. For example I only want it to send a notification if it is a pdf file extension. Other files in the job would still copy but only notify on the pdfs. I am working on a group wide project and it would help out a lot. The PDF file extension was just an example and would be other file formats.
A: We added a new option ‘Use Pascal Script as event Precondition’ in Version v2022.2.9.0
– Open Rule Events Setup
– Select the Event you want to setup (in our example this is the ‘On Success’ event) > Options Tab > Enable ‘Use Pascal Script as event Precondition’
– Switch to ‘Pascal Script’ Tab and Enable Pascal Script.
– Add the following script to include only .pdf files for the ‘On Success’ event. This is just a simple example but can be extended to meet all your needs.
Begin // ... add your code here If SameText(ExtractFileExt(psFileName), '.pdf') Then psExitCode := 1 Else psExitCode := 0; End.

Maximum number of files in Destination folder
Q: Maximum number of files in Destination folder. I have a short question. Very nice if You have an answer 🙂
One Source Windows folder: “IN”.
One Destination Windows folder: “OUT”
The number of files in the folder “OUT” should never exceed 3 files.
(The files will be processed and deleted from the “OUT” folder by other software. When the number of remaining files is 0, 1 or 2, Limagito should send one more file).
Is there an solution/function for this in Limagito File Mover?
A: Yes this is possible using a small Pascal Script.
This script will only work with WIN as Destination. Enable and add ‘On Rule Begin’ Pascal Script. Don’t forget to adjust the ‘ctFilter, ctOutputPath and ctSubDirs’ Const.
Var tmpCount: Integer; Const ctFilter = '*.pdf'; ctOutputPath = 'C:\Test\Out\Sub1\'; ctSubDirs = True; // True or False Begin psExitCode := 1; // ... add your code here tmpCount := psCountFiles(ctOutputPath, ctFilter, ctSubDirs); // Check If tmpCount >= 3 Then Begin psExitCode := 0; psLogWrite(1, '', 'QTY Files >= 3 (Count: ' + IntToStr(tmpCount) + ')'); End; End.
Feedback customer:
Fantastic! I´ve did some simple tests and it seems to work exactly as we wanted.
