FTP File patter with date

  • 1.  FTP File patter with date

    Posted Fri May 16, 2008 06:09 PM

    hi all,

    I am facing a problem while listing files with certain pattern over a FTP session.

    The files in the server will be in the following format:
    _0_ABC.txt
    _1_ABC.txt
    like this …

    Now, I need to list all the files which are of current date.

    I am using the service, pub.client.ftp.ls service. I have tried with so many patterns possible, but could not generate the one needed.

    Could anybody help me in this?
    Thanks a lot.

    First step: Call the service pub.date:getCurrentDateString and set its pattern to yyyyMMdd.

    In the next step call the service pub.client.ftp.ls and set the field filenamepattern to %value%*.txt and Check the option “perform variable substitution”.

    This should give you the list of of all the files on the ftp from Today.

    HTH,
    Bhawesh Singh.
