Change file names

[heidi_andrew]

I need to change the file location for about 100 files. Is there a faster way to change the smb location other than giong into the file writer snaps for all 100?

Hello @heidi.andrew,

In such a case you might consider using the Directory Browser Snap and File Writer then File Delete, since I think that the File Operation Snap does not support operations on files on SMB.

Let me know if this helps you.

BR,
Aleksandar.

file delete does not work with smb. smb is my only choice for file writer. i want to change the file names for all of these files…

Hi @heidi.andrew

Alternatively you can use Multi File Reader snap to read the files from source folder and use File Writer snap to write to a new location. You can replace the source folder with the target folder while writing the file. Finally, delete the files from source folder

i will still have to go in to every file writer snap. is there a way to use a pipeline parameter to look for company id and the current quarter in order to name the files?
