Exclude files in the SFTP adapter

[Former Member]

Hi.

I want to pick all files in a specific directory on the SFTP server except the *.tmp files.

We are using the SFTP adapter on a PI 7.3 system.

How would I do this? There are no exclusion mask as in the file adapter.

Best Regards

Kalle

Got the following expression to work.

^.*\.(?!tmp$)[^.]+$

Thanks for input.

PS. Adarsh ofcourse I tried google. DS.

Hi Kalle,

Can you try giving *.[^t][^m][^p] in your file adapter . Kindly let me know the result once you tried.

Thanks,

Swetha.

Hi,

Please use regular expressions to create the filename in case of SFTP adapter.
