Search for files and take

[RytisT]

Hi. I want to create a pretty simple flow in switch.

From time to time, there's an order that requires taking old files and just printing them again, but there are loads of files of that order which are all marked with it's own number.

I'd like to be able to make a .txt or .csv or .xml file with numbers inside it like
"...
11
23
46
..."

and for switch to search for files with 11,23,46 in their names and sending down the line from a specific folder. Is this possible? Thanks.

Yes it is quite simple.

Make one XML-file for each file you will pickup and use the Inject Job tool to get the job file.

Well yeah, but there's like 50 files, making 50 XML's by hand won't be faster than just picking the files themselves.

Any way to make a single .txt file with all file names in it and for switch to split up that txt into single-line xml's?

Well then you need a bit of XSLT to split up the incoming XML to 50 single files.

If you have the Scripting Module you can do everything with a Script

I don't

No other way?

Well, As I said use XSLT to split up the incoming XML in one XML-file per job you want to pickup and use the Inject Job where you read the XML to get the file and path to get the file.

You don't need Scripting for that but you need the Metadata module.

Oh, thanks.

I can't seem to find any documentation from Enfocus on how to use XSLT element. Am I supposted to create a stylesheet as a template on how every XML file is going to be split? Thank you.

[jan_suhr]

Yes and XSLT that splits each item to a new XML-file.

If you Google it you'll find how to do it.

One xml can be looped to created as many lines as in the file.

Here is another app to loop in an xml file:

And if you want to inject a job in your flow, and you only have part of the name, you need this one:
