    Source file parsing and vlookup configuration

    Q: Source file parsing request:
    It was a pleasure meeting you this morning, we had a productive time upgrading our lower-environment server.
    Now, I have a specific requirement, I want to know if this is doable in Limagito?
    I have attached 3 source log files, and an Excel file for lookup values.
    Let me know what is possible and what isn’t.
    Your help would be appreciated.
           Requirement is.
    1. Get a portion of the sourcefilename
      -Filename is: 3294006586260310100730.log
      -get 7th position and is 4 digits in length (is the instrument-Slno)
      -Lookup for slno in the csv file for a possible match
      -in the 1st column (match just the 1st 4 digits alone)
      -and get the associated value in the 2nd column.             (VAR-1)
      -if there isn’t a match, then assign ‘Default‘ to VAR-1
    2. Open source-file
      -and lookup for a static-string ‘Donation ID’:
      -and get the associated value which is on the same line. (VAR-2)
      -if there isn’t a match, then assign ‘None‘ to VAR-2
      -if there are any backward or forward slashes within the value, replace it with space
    3. Rename the Target file name.
      -with the original Primary name
      -and suffix it with ‘-‘
      -and suffix it with (VAR-2)
      -and suffix it with ‘-‘
      -and suffix it with (VAR-1)
      -File Extension should be ‘.TXT
    1. Create a folder with the name (VAR-1) on the Target path and drop the associated renamed file in it.

    A: Yes this is possible using our srcipting option.

    • The Source must be a Windows folder (or share):

    limagito filemover windows folder or share as source

    • As file filter we used *.log because we only need to search for log files:

    • Open our Pascal Script option:

    limagito filemover pascal script option

    • Enable and add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ script:
      • This script will load the content of the ‘AssetID_with_SerialNumber.csv’ file. You can adjust the ctCsvFile const if needed.
      • It must be a csv file
      • You can download the script here

    • Funtion setup:
      • We are using ‘Move Files’ in our test setup
      • If you want to keep the files in the source then
        • Select ‘Copy Files’ instead
        • Enable our File Memory option! This way we will only copy the same file once.

    • Destination Setup
      • First Destination MUST be our Pascal Script option
      • Second Destination is the destination folder of moved log files

    • First Destination: Pascal Script
      • You can download the script here
      • The script will strip an ID from the source filename (Char 7 – 10)
      • This ID will be used to get the ‘AssetID’ from the csv file
      • AssetID will be used to parse the source file for the ‘Donation ID’ information
        • / and  \ will be replaced with a space
        • Invalid directory char will be removed

    • Second Destination: We used a Windows Folder but can be any other destination type

    • Adjust ‘Create Subdir, opt.’ to:  %VSB\%SFS
      • %VSB var contains the AssetID parsed from the csv file

    • Enable ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move’ option:

    limagito filemover file renaming option

    • File Rename setup:
      • RegEx:  (.*)\.(.*)
      • Replacement:  \1-%VSC-%VSB.log
        • Filename will be renamed and extension will change from .log to .txt
