Hello,

I'm looking to just add a datestamp to a file when its created. I think this should be accomplished with the Rename task.

My mask is *.* on a particular directory.

The trouble I'm having is in the Rename settings box, what variable can I use in the new name mask to get the existing file name.

basically I'm looking for {DATEFORMAT(MMddyyyy)}_{EXISTINGFILENAME}

thanks for the help,

drew

Try using:

{DATEFORMAT(MMddyyyy)}_*

Hi ScubaDrew,

If you used the file trigger, you could look at the trigger variables. There is the name of the file. Put this behind the dateformat variable, and you're done.

{DATEFORMAT(MMddyyyy)}_*

This worked perfectly.

thank you,
