I'm unable to read file name from data services which contain date_time format, I can read date but time can be variable, I've tried with *.csv on file name(s) property for flat file, but this for static file name.
Example: File_20180520_200003.csv, File_20180519_192503.csv, etc.
My script:
$Filename= 'File_'|| to_char(sysdate()-1, 'YYYYMMDD')|| '_'|| '*.csv';
I want to find a solution to read the 6 digits (any number) *.
Finally, I've found a solution by using
$Csv = word(exec('cmd','dir /b [$Filename]*.csv',8),2) ;
on the flat file (file name property), I've added $Csv
It works fine.

I have thousands of txt files that are actually in JSON format.
Each file has the same string, with different values, namely:
"Name":"xxx","Email":"yyy#zzz.com"
I want to extract the values of these two strings from all the txt files that I put in the same folder.
I've found these lines of code:
Extract part of a text file using Windows batch
but it only applies to one txt file. Whereas what I need is, it can execute all files in one folder.
You can use the FORFILES command, to loop through each file,
Syntax
FORFILES [/p Path] [/m SrchMask] [/s] [/c Command] [/d [+ | -] {date | dd}]
From the following webpage,
https://ss64.com/nt/forfiles.html
I have a directory which contains multiple file (~1000) with names in the form of ABC.txt, ABC.1.txt, ABC.2.txt, XYZ.txt, XYZ.1.txt and so on.. I want to consider these names based on the first index if we split them by .. For example then names will be read as ABC XYZ and so on.. Then I want to remove those files for which these first index does not exist in an other (reference file). Given the file names mentioned above, let's say my other (reference file) only contains 1 name and that is XYZ. So the files that will be kept in the directory will be XYZ.txt and XYZ.1.txt and everything else which does not have the exact prefix as XYZ will be removed. I said exact because it might happen that there will be a file with name XYZA.txt, so there should be an exact match in order to keep that file.
Can anybody help me with this. Thank you very much.
EDIT: One directory contains all the files: ABC.txt, ABC.1.txt, ABC.2.txt, XYZ.txt, XYZ.1.txt and the reference file is in another directory as file name reference.txt and is a one-column file containing other directory's file (prefix)names as ABC, XYZ, CDE etc..
try
for f in *.*;
do if grep -qF "${f%%.*}" file;
then echo "skip $f";
else echo "rm $f"; fi;
done
searches all files with a dot in file name, extract the prefix until the first dot, compare literally in the file with not to be deleted names, and echo the rm file command. Make sure your file with names doesn't have a dot, otherwise it will be removed as well.
if looks fine remove echo before rm.
As per my requirement, I need to upload a .csv file into the application. I am trying to simulate this using loadrunner. The issue I am encoutering is that my csv file is in the below format
Header - AA,BB,CC
Data-xyz,"yyx,zzy",xxz
On using the below statement to upload the file, I am getting an error ""line 2 contains 4 columns instead of 3"
web_submit_data("upload",
"Action=xxx/upload",
"Method=POST",
"EncType=multipart/form-data",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=xxx",
"Snapshot=t86.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
ITEMDATA,
"Name=utf8", "Value=✓", ENDITEM,
"Name=token", "Value={token_1}", ENDITEM,
"Name=upload_file", "Value={NewParam_5}", "File=yes", "ContentType=text/csv", ENDITEM,
"Name=Button1", "Value=Upload", ENDITEM,
LAST);
AS per information provided in How to deal with a string with comma in it from a csv, when we have to read the data by using loadrunner? ,
I tried updating the .prm file to a new delimiter pipe, | but still i get the error.
[parameter:NewParam_5]
Delimiter="|"
ParamName="NewParam_5"
TableLocation="C:\temp"
ColumnName="Col 1"
I also notice that even though I set the delimiter to pipe, if I rightclick on the web_submit_data() and go to Parameter properties, i see a column delimiter option there as well and it is not set to pipe and is set to comma which indicates that this setting is taking higher precedence to the setting in .prm file.
Can someone please guide me the right way to set a new delimiter so that vugen recognizes and parses the csv file as I want it to.
I am using loadrunner 12.5
Thanks for your help.
Do you need to upload a file or a line of comma separated variables? Right now you appear to be reading a line of CSV variables, not a file as your parameter file would contain a list of filenames or a single file reference within the directory of the virtual user (extra files, transferred with the use) or created by the virtual user and then uploaded.
I'm attempting to create a process to import data. I created the entire process and it works, but I'm having trouble creating the variable to find the file name of the csv i want to import automatically. Each time a new csv is uploaded to me it has a timestamp on it. I want to be able to grab that file no matter what the name is and do work to it.
So for example this week the file name would be
filename_4-14-2014.csv
And next week
filename_4_21_2014.csv
And so on into eternity. . .
Is there a way to create a variable that picks up the full file name even though its changing?
After doing some poking around, I've discovered the following...
You can use a file system task to perform the copy operation I was referring to. You can set the input file and the output file as variables. This way you can always know that the file you use for import is always named the same, and has the right data.
You just need to add the variables and a File System Task to your package.
Ok so to accomplish what I wanted I created a Foreach Loop Container. Using the foreach loop container I had it look for any files ending with .csv in my specified folder by using a wildcard [denoted by asterisk: *.csv] .
Within the Foreach Loop container is as follows.
Step 1: File System Task - rename file.
Step 2: Data Flow Task - Import data to sql
Step 3: File System Task - Copy the file to another folder, append datetime to filename
Step 4: File System Task - Delete source file.
I used variables to get all the file and folder names plus datetimes.
I ran into this problem when uploading a file with a super long name - my database field was only set to 50 characters. Since then, I have increased my database field length, but I'd like to have a way to check the length of the filename before uploading. Below is my code. The validation returns '85' as the character length. And it returns the same count for every different file I upload (none of which have a file name length of 85).
<cfscript>
missing_info = "<p>There was a slight problem with your submission. The following are required or invalid:</p><ul>";
// Check the length of the file name for our database field
if ( len(Form["ResumeFile1"]) gt 100 )
{
missing_info = missing_info & "<li>'Resume File 1' is invalid. Character length must be less than 100. Current count is " & len(Form["ResumeFile1"]) & ".</li>";
validation_error = true;
ResumeFileInvalidMarker = true;
}
</cfscript>
Anyone see anything wrong with this?
Thanks!

After you upload the file, the variable "clientFileName" will give you the name of the uploaded file, without a file extension.
The only way to read the filename before you upload it would be to use JavaScript to read and parse the value (file path) in the file field.
A quick clarification in the wording of your question. By the time your code executes the file upload has already happened. The file resides in a temporary directory on the ColdFusion server and the form field related to the file upload contains the temporary filename for that file. Aside from checking to see if a file has been specified, do not do anything directly with that file or you'll be circumventing some built in security.
You want to use the cffile tag with the upload action (or equivalent udf) to move the temp file into a folder of your choosing. At that point you get access to a structure containing lots of information. Usually I "upload" into a temporary directory for the application, which should be outside of the webroot for security.
At this point you'll then want to do any validation against the file, such as filename length, file type, file size, etc and delete the file if it fails any checks. If it passes all checks then you move it into it's final destination which may be inside the webroot.
In your case you'll want to check the cffile structure element clientFile which is the original filename including extension (which you'll need to check, since an extension doesn't need to be present and can be any length).
