Pick a particular file from the FTP folder.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am facing a problem in File to File scenario.

I developed the total interface, but my problem is I given in the cc input file tab I given file name as "a*_out.txt".

But in the same directory there is an other file with the file name starts with abc.'

But i have to restrict the files other than 'a'.

For ex. file name starts with 'a' then I have to pick the file.

If the file name starts with 'abc' i should n't pick the file.

But in the input file tab I configured like "a*_out.txt", so which is picking all files starts with 'a'.

for the quick inputs will be higly appriciated.

Thanks in advance,

Srihari.

You need to use Exclusion Mask as above expert pointed out and see how that help your case. Example: If  you dont want file name abcout.txt to be picked by file adapter then you can give *bc*.txt in the filename mask .

Hope that helps.

Hi Srihari,

In the Sender File/FTP adapter you can exclude files with the option Exclusion Mask:

You could find how to do in these links:
