Assemble jobs and file patterns

Post by ckuhlmannHP »

Hello All,

I have been using a flow I made that takes single page pdfs, assembles in groups of 60 files and merges into 1 fat pdf. It has been working fine but the client has asked me to group by file names.

all the files have the following format:
Gloss_0226_HC_024_12_213447_2901751_474773_1
Matte_0305_HC_126_12_213432_2894825_475602_1

I was thinking I could update the assemble jobs to a group on file patterns. I have made this regex ^(?:[^_]*\_){2}[^\_]+ which collects everything before the 3rd _ but instead I get one job per file.

Could anyone shed some light on how I might be using file patterns wrong?

Thank you

Try this regex instead "/\w+\_\d+\_HC/gi".
It would be helpful if you could post a screenshot of ur flow. And the part where u struggle most.
