Q: I am trying to create a rule where we need to pick files from user’s Desktop/Export folder, and the computer has several different users. The path goes like this \\<hostname>\C$\Users\<userid>\Desktop\Export\. I want the <userid> as a wild card where Limagito can monitor all the Desktop\Export path under all the users. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to handle this. Thanks!

A: This is possible using our scripting option.

• Start with the following Windows as Source option:
  • Set  %VSA  as Directory, %VSA = Variable String A
  • %VSA will be set by our Pascal Script option

•  Open our Pascal Script option:

• Enable and add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ script:
  • You can download the script here
  • Do not forget to adjust the ‘ctUsersDir’ Const
  • This script will list all users and check if they have an ‘Export’ folder on their Desktop

• You can add any file or directory filter if needed, that is up to you.
• Select the Function and if you would choose ‘Copy’ then do not forget to enable our File Memory option otherwise you would copy the same files over and over  again.
• Destination Setup:
  • First Destination must be ‘Pascal Script’ (PScript).
  • Second Destination, we used a Windows folder but you can use other too.

• First Destination: Pascal Script
  • You can download the script here
  • The script will strip the UserID from the FileDir and put it into %VSB (= Var String B)

• Second Destination, Windows Folder:

• Set the ‘Create Subdir’ to:  %VSB\%SFS
  • %VSB will contain the UserID

If you need any help about this ‘pick files user’s Desktop’ request, please let us know.
