Filewatcher question

With my first question on this forum, I got good help so I am hoping for more help with this question.

Is it possible to use wildcards or regular expressions in file names that are being monitored through File Watcher? To give you more background, we have files whose name always starts with ABCDEF but it has a sequence number that keeps changing everytime. So, the file name would be something like ABCDEF*.TXT

Hi,

Yes you can. Go to see Control-M Agent documentation to all details.
Here is link concerning Control-M Agent 6.3.01

I've resolved a problem like yours with coding: if you do a file watch by command in one script, you can watch the arrive of many files also with different names. You can bring the list of files in the directory with "ls" or "dir" command.
So you can obtain a flow that run many times during the day and bring the files that are arrived (and the trasfer finisced).
