Get Information From File Name

Hi,
I have a somewhat general question, is it possible to extract certain "elements" from a file name?
For example: x0 xxx abc 123 xx xxxx.avi (or any type txt, jpg, and etc...).
Assuming that the "abc" is constant throughout the files but the digits are changing (not sequential), can I extract just the "abc 123" (or whatever number it is)?
I know how to strip/build path, but here I don't know what to search since the distance from the beginning is changing and the digits are changing.
Thank you,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are several string function that allow you to search for a string, and break the string into several parts.
Another option is using Regular Expression, yours sound like "abc/s[0-9]{3}", that should return the "abc 123" part.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

In addition, this:

Get information from an array saved into a text file

I am trying to get information from an array saved as a text file to extract the information to build an string. This string will go out from the serial port to a device which will listen this message and it will answer the question. All the information sended sequencially it has to be obtained from that array. Every row contain one instruction and this has to be sended one after one.
Could you tell me if is possible to make this driver? And if you have a similar driver, Where can I get it from?

The VIs that I would suggest using are found in the String Function Pallet:
Spreadsheet String To Array
Array To Spreadsheet String
The delimiter should be the termination character. These VIs will adapt to a string array.
For the Spreadsheet String To Array wire an empty string array and use %s as the format. The delimiter should be the termination character of the text file, most likely a end of line (\r\n).
For the Array To Spreadsheet String the delimiter should be the termination required for your serial device.
Using a combination of these two VIs should provide you the functions required to make the driver.

Ecxpert Problem in getting the original file name submitted by FTP

hai,
when i use the scheduled FTP Application receive mode to receive files from the remote machine, i am not able to get the original file name, Ecxpert itself maintaining it's own file name,
Even i query the tracking table also i am not able to find the original filename.
If anybody know how i can able to get the original file name?
thanks....

I don't think there is an easy to capture this information. We ended up writing our own FTP tool so we could gather better data. The other problem we had seemed to be sporadic downloads from sites where setting Passive was required.

How to get information from Oracle's views

Hi,
I need to get information from Oracle's views about:
* in which table's column is set index
* what type of index is on this column
* name of a trigger which exist on a table
* type of trigger (before, after etc)
* trigger status (enable, disable)
Thanks for help.

Hi..
One of the best way to know which views to use is doing select * from dict where table_name like 'xxx';
For example in your case you needed to know about the indexes and triggers so
SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_IND%';
TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
DBA_INDEXES                    Description for all indexes in the database
*DBA_IND_COLUMNS                COLUMNs comprising INDEXes on all TABLEs and CLUSTERs*
DBA_IND_EXPRESSIONS            FUNCTIONAL INDEX EXPRESSIONs on all TABLES and CLUSTERS
DBA_INDEXTYPES                 All indextypes
DBA_INDEXTYPE_COMMENTS         Comments for user-defined indextypes
DBA_INDEXTYPE_ARRAYTYPES       All array types specified by the indextype
DBA_INDEXTYPE_OPERATORS        All indextype operators
DBA_IND_PARTITIONS
DBA_IND_SUBPARTITIONS
DBA_IND_STATISTICS             Optimizer statistics for all indexes in the database
10 rows selected.
SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_TRI%';
TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
DBA_TRIGGERS                   All triggers in the database
DBA_TRIGGER_COLS               Column usage in all triggers
Reading the comments you can know which view to use, then describe the view and use what you need

Requirement :
1) I am able to get the Target file name as same as the source file name when i check the ASMA in Sender & Receiver Adapter , with out any UDF...............this thing is OK
2) I took One field extra in the target structure Like "FileName" & I mapped it Like
Constant(" " )--UDF-----FileName
I Checked the Option ASMA in Both Sender & Receiver Adapters
Here iam getting the Target File name as same as Source file name + Source File name Info in the Target Field " FileName".
I Dont want to get the Target File name as same as Source file name. I want like Out.xml as Target file name.
If i de-select the Option ASMA in Adapters means it is showing " null" value in the target field "FileName".
Please Provide the Solution for this

In file txn,
click on "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client" from the left.
Then click position and check for your logical file name.
If you dont get it, it means you need to create it. You can click on New Entries to create.

WCF Service and Sharepoint Form library : How i can read or access a form libray and query a item from file name and read form xml in WCF service ?

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can take use of REST API or Client Object Model to access the SharePoint objects like Form Library.
SharePoint 2013 REST API

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj193041(v=office.15).aspx
With the retrieved file, we can then use XmlDocument object to parse it and get the values you want:

Cloud does not disappear from file name?

why does it take "forever" for the cloud to disappear from file name?
I saved a numbers document to the cloud a half an hour ago, and the cloud is still there.

HDash-Tech,
thanks for the tip, but since I have my iTunes Library on a NAS I have to direct iTunes every now and than via "choose library" to the folder and it doesn't make a difference...
I think it's somehow due to my iTunes Match. I know they do not sync audiobooks, but they mess up pretty much everything else within my library. Songnames here and there and especially cd covers!
Any other idea how to get it straigten out again?
Thank,
Daniel

IS Possible to get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section

IS Possible to get the values from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section? by Codeless
and then with this result used to filter DDL
Or GetUserProfileByName is only useful when it is used for FORM LOAD
CRISTINA&amp MICROSOFT Forum

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the GetUserProfileByName service in InfoPath form.
We can get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeating section, however you need to give the name of user so that the service can be used to get the details of the user.
Please refer to the link below:
http://thinketg.com/using-infopath-and-the-web-service-getuserprofilebyname/
You can create rules to query for data using GetUserProfileByName, and it is not only useful for form load.

How can I extract metadata from file names?

If I want to extract metadata from file names? How can I do that? I want to read through the file names and when I get to a certain character ("-"), I can take the string just before that character and store it in a column in SharePoint. Is this
do-able through scripting?

You should be able to leverage the split method.
In PowerShell It would look like:
# Gather the file name
$file = "myawesome_filename-Month-Day-Year-Ect.doc"
#split the file name by the "-" character
$file = $file.split("-")
# Use a foreach Loop to gather the individual items.
foreach ($item in $file) {
write-host $item
#Outputmyawesome_filename
Month
Day
Year
Ect.doc
# If you want to only grab the first item, you can do $file[0] <-- powershell starts counting with zero base.
$file[0]
#output
myawesome_filename
