Re: Connection condition based on XML Field - no alphanumeric characters

Thank you. I tried these 4 "Does Not Match" conditions joined by AND ^.+[a-zA-Z0-9].+$ ^.+[a-zA-Z0-9]$ ^[a-zA-Z0-9].+$ ^[a-zA-Z0-9]$ which I think means: anything at beginning, followed by 1 alphanumeric, followed by anything at end anything at beginning, followed by 1 alphanumeric at the ...

Connection condition based on XML Field - no alphanumeric characters

I have an XML field "Versions". If this field contains any alphanumeric characters I do not want the job to proceed on the connection. Otherwise, proceed. I think this is possible with RegEx but with that, the option is "Matches" or "Does Not Match". I don't think I nee...

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

I wanted to update on this. I installed v4 today. And shortly after I was forced to roll back to version 2. I isolated one problem (out of many), but I cannot figure out what caused it. I have a Filetypes counter that counts XMLs in the job. The private data key is "xmlcount" After the sub...

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

Thank you! This makes sense. Yes I have instances of the element one after the other. And so these of course would default to the same dataset name, because I currently do not have one. I probably could just change these to something unique immediately after upgrading the app. I just upgraded to Swi...

Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

I have an interesting situation. I use FileTypes counter. A LOT. All of my production flows have the element, and then connections reference the private data from the elements further down the line. So my problem is: a few months ago, I updated from Folder Apps v2 to Folder Apps v3. For some reason ...

And, if I had just researched, I would have found Scan Hierarchy app. Exactly what I need.

Learn the name of file in folder

I hope I can explain what I need. Keeping things simple, I have a PDF going into Swtch flow. The PDF is named so that I can create a private data key from the start of the name. This key is a job number. There is a folder that matches this job number exactly. So it is very easy for Switch to access ...

Re: Problem with Select Transparent Objects

Thank you. This is so bizarre. No security settings at all. I added the log selection as you suggested. It logs many objects. But, when I try to remove the objects, nothing happens. I tried something else. I added NOT after select transparent objects. The result would be removing anything that is no...

Problem with Select Transparent Objects

I cannot seem to get this to work. When I select transparent objects, nothing is ever selected. See the screen shot. I submit a PDF with transparent objects throughout. But nothing is deleted. I must be overlooking something obvious.

Re: Linking Hot Folders for Flows

This is awesome. Thank you. I just started using Switch2Switch. It seems very simple. In what instances would the other solutions - SubFlow, or Flow Links, be preferred? It looks like Flow Links uses the channel property just like Switch2Switch.

Linking Hot Folders for Flows

I am running Switch Spring 2022 on a Mac studio running OS X Monterey. I am having a strange issue from time to time. I have a lot of flows – probably too many, and paring them down might help with this problem. But anyway – you can join flows together using hot folders. At the termination folder of...

Execute Command - curl

Please forgive me - I have a complete lack of knowledge. Working on a Mac and using Terminal. My job starts off with a url address. The url is always a pdf. When saved manually from a browser, the pdf extension is not appended. An example: http://MISapp/MI/viewreport.ashx?path=D:\MIS\Approot\Primo\D...

Defining Variable for Archive Hierarchy

This is a simple question I hope. You cannot define variables for a path using the Archive Hierarchy flow element. I am on a Mac. When writing files to a network volume, the path always begins as: /Volumes I came up with a way to include variables with Archive Hierarchy. The element uses the path as...

InDesign configurator - fail vs. error out

I am missing something basic here. In the configurator, I have "fail job with unavailable fonts" set to "yes". I sent a job through today and it failed for a missing font, "Lora.ttf". But the font is actually in the package fonts folder. If I open it in InDesign, there ...
