Read file with changing name
Hello, First let me preface that i’ve searched on this forum for the right answer, some things seemed like they’d fit but ultimately nothing was exactly what I needed to accomplish my task. I’m hoping it’s a case of missing something obvious. I have to grab a file every half hour from a folder. I can use file-reader to grab one with no problem and the pipeline all works as expected… BUT. starting this week the files will be dumped with the following pattern.filename_YYYYMMDD:MMSS.txt the new file will always overwrite the old one, so i just need to tell file reader(or whichever is the right snap) to grab the file matching that pattern. I tried using the pattern technique from the file WRITER but it didn’t work with my reader. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.2.7KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Moving from Get response to post
Thanks for the reply @acesario . Yeah, i was trying to play around with the formatter snap, I was having a bit of a hard timing understanding how i’d map directly to it. Also, i seemed to then be forced to use a snap that had a triangular input rather than the REST POST which used the circular. But what i eventually ended up doing was actually adding in the nested format in the mapper without the formatter added to it and the output body looked exactly how I needed it to. i’ll need to try it with a larger file filled with more records but as of now it looks like this’ll work. Lots of learning going on.2.6KViews1like0CommentsMoving from Get response to post
Hi, I’m still relatively new to snaplogic but i’m really enjoying the learning process on it as I work through my assigned task. I’ve been able to build out a pipeline that: Starts with a csv file on a shared server maps the required values to a REST GET Takes the returned values from the GET and maps those What i need to do afterwards is where things go off. I’ve done pipelines that post to an endpoint succesfully but what i want to do is take the values from the returned data in the GET snap, along with some values passed along the way on the previous mapper snap and combine those into a new JSON body that will post in the right schema. I’ve googled and searched on how to actually add a schema so that it’ll show up properly in the post body but i can’t find anything that lines up with my need. Maybe i’m thinking of it in the wrong way. ANY suggestions on design choices would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark3.4KViews0likes4Comments
