I needs some help with 2 regex expressions.
I have to process some files in groups from a list of files. Here is an example
of the file names:
SP_050317
SP_050417
SP_050517
SP_INS_050317
SP_INS_050417
SP_INS_050517
I need to process the files that start with “SP_” and then the date as one
group.
I need to process the files that start with “SP_INS_” and then the date in
another group.
I will have a text array that contains all the file names. I could write some
code to brute force accomplish this, but I’d like to use regex so that I have
some flexibiltiy if the file naming scheme changes in the future. Then I’ll
only have to change the regex pattern.
What regex pattern would I use with "Match regex" for the first group of files?
And then what pattern to use for the second group of files?
Example Code:
$regexPattern_t:="what do I put here"
DOCUMENT LIST($folderPath_t;$documentNames_at)
For ($i;1;Size of array($documentNames_at))
$documentName_t:=$documentNames_at{$i}
$processFile_b:=Match
regex($regexPattern_t;$documentName_t;1;$foundPosition_l;$foundLength_l)
If ($processFile_b) // need to process this file
// do some things to the file
End if
End for
