File Watcher check for a specific date on a specific day

Post by sookie59 » 31 Jan 2011 9:34

Can the control-m file watcher look for file names that have changing dates contained in the file name? For example: today's file is name abc.110131.1 (abc.yymmdd.1) and tomorrow's file is abc.110201.1.
I want the file watcher to look for a specific file on a specific day.

You can insert system variables or auto-edit variables into the name of the file to 'watch'. To find a file as in your example, just use the equivalent in the 'path' field:
<path>\abc.%%DATE..1.txt
