I'm using the FTP task to download files. The files have the year in the file name and I only want to download files with the year 2003 or greater.

Here's an example:

BankRegulatoryHistory_1991_LTMYTDNEW_20140705D_1.zip
BankRegulatoryHistory_2012_LTMYTDNEW_20140705D_1.zip
BankRegulatoryHistory_2013_LTMYTDNEW_20140705D_1.zip
BankRegulatoryHistory_2014_LTMYTDNEW_20140705D_1.zip

So I only want the files with 2012, 2013, 2014 in the name. I'm thinking maybe REGEX? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Frank,

What you can do is adding multiple downloads in one ftp task.
All have different download masks.
So have three seperate downloads with file mask:
  • *History_2012_*
  • *History_2013_*
  • *History_2014_*

This wil download only the files from 2012,2013 and 2014

I don't believe there is a regex for the ftp download task, or I'm mistaken. (I'm not at a VC client at the moment)

Regards,
Erik
