    The Directory Browser uses GLOB, not Regex, but you can do similar searches. Multiple patterns can be used. They must be contained in brackets. For example the following will return ‘mamma mia.csv’ and ‘snaplogic.csv’:

    {mamma mia.csv, snaplogic.csv}

    Check the SnapLogic documentation here for the Directory Browser file filter -here-.

Hi Terrible:

This is a pretty common pattern, and I find it easiest just to treat the data from your post like any other data - add a Mapper snap right after your post, and extract the values you need, then use them in the next HTTP Client. I'm attaching a sample pipeline that just uses a free API site URL for testing. In the first HTTP Client, I POST the information you gave, in the Mapper snap that follows, I extract my needed data, and in the other HTTP Client I use those data elements from the Mapper in headers using SnapLogic's ability to evaluate a variable. Hope this helps.

Example Pipeline: 

Mapper pulls out the data we need:

Then use those data elements anywhere you need them, whether it's in the URL, in the Query Params, or as Header params, or even in a document posted back:

Thanks djsiegel for the quick reply.

What I'm failing to understand is what value do I use for Account in the 2nd HTTP Client snap? and what type of an API account should it be, since the system owner forbids me to use basic auth?

    I guess you are saying whether a Script snap can read a file from the manager. I am not sure, but you can read a file via File Reader and then convert that into a document using BinaryToDocument snap. All your file’s data will be there in the “content” field. You can do whatever u want with that content in the script snap. Hope that helps.

    Thanks

    If I use a FileReader to read a file I’ll end up with the config in a document… how do I get both that configuration document AND the document that needs validated into the Script snap so the document can be validated against the configuration?

    The config doc and the data doc might have distinct patterns. Based on that, we can process them separately.

    Sorry, I’m confused by the answer, I need to apply the transformations defined in the validate document to the data document to see if the data in the data document is valid, so I dont see how I process them seperately…

      Can you give me a sample input that contains both data and config docs?
