Hi Support

I am trying to List files in a folder that were created using an FTP Download task, but in the LIST I only want to list the Filenames, and not the folder name as well. I have defined the following Folder definition in the List Task Location tab, using the PATH function:

{PATH(GetFileName|c:\@@Trigger\CTS\Xfer\{DATEFORMAT(yyyyMMdd)})}

However, it is returning an error saying:

'Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Windows\system32\20111229'.'

It seems as if it is not recognising the Path I have defined correctly. I have to hardcode the path name as the FTP Download task doesn't return any VC variables I can use to tell me what folder it wrote to. Am I using the function within the task incorrectly?

Cheers

Andy

Ok, that won't work. I am moving this topic to Feature request. Want you need is an Output tab where you can decide the format of the result.

One solution is to use the .NET Execute Task with the following code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

public class Test
{
    public static string GetFileList(string baseFolder)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(baseFolder, "*");
        foreach (string f in files)
        {
            sb.AppendLine(Path.GetFileName(f));
        }
        return sb.ToString();
    }
}

Hi Henrik

An Output Tab would be a better solution. Even better would be to allow an FTP List task as well :-)

I want to try not to get into too much .NET coding if possible as I need to hand the VC implementation over to a team who are not familiar with .NET.

Cheers
