    Howto unzip JPG from ZIP files using Limagito File Mover

    Q: I would like to unzip JPG from a ZIP files. Every ZIP files contain JPG, XML. I would try to extract only JPG files from ZIP, but I can’t do it. All files are extracted, that obliges me to add deletion rule to delete XML files in the target folder.  Is it possible to build a rule, and ask for extract only .JPG files from ZIP ?

    A: In version v2021.10.8.0 we added a new Extract Mask option in the UNZIP Destination Setup to achieve this. We immediately added an include and exclude Extract Mask.

    • Extract Include Mask ( default *.* )
    • Extract Exclude Mask ( default ‘blanco’ )

    In this example we set the ‘Extract Include Mask’ to  *.jpg  so only jpg files form the zip (or other compressed file) will be extracted.

    List of filename parts to move in a text file with Limagito File Mover

    Q: Is it possible to have a list of filename parts in a text file and use this to move any files whose name matches the whole filename or part file name in a directory? I’ve had a look on the blog but I think that is only for 1 file using a part filename.

    A: In version v2021.7.9.0 we added a new option to achieve this. We added some screenshots to get you started.

    1. Windows Folder as Source. This folder will contain all files. We’ll filter them using information from a seperate text file.

    Limagito File Mover Source Setup

    Our Source folder contains 244 files:

    2.Next, please open the Rule Parameters option of this Rule.

    Limagito File Mover Rule Parameters

    Select the text file containing the filename parts we’ll use to filter the files we want to copy. We selected ‘On Rule Begin’ as Load File Mode, so the content of this text will will be reloaded on each Rule Begin. We also enabled ‘Reload only when file content changes’ to prevent unnecessary loading of this file.

    Limagito File Mover File Content Setup

    Content of the text file we’ll use to filter the files we want to copy, it contains parts of filenames.

    3. Open the File Filter setup and select ‘File Contents > Include’ Tab. Enable the new option called ‘Add wildcards to File Content Entries in search’.

    When enabled wildcards will be added to each entry of the file content (in memory) during the search.
    i.e.
    Suppose file name found in source folder would be: test.pdf
    And the include FileContent would contain: test
    With this option enabled the file would be picked up because we will check test.pdf with *test*

    4. As Destination we also added a Windows Folder:

    5. RunTime Log Result. Of  the original 244 files in the Source folder, 216 were copied due to the File Content Filter.
