Hello everyone!
Could you please help with this situation.
I want to exclude files with names that begin with $ symbol.
I wrote in "File exclusion pattern" field (FileInput node) this pattern: $*
And it didn't work. The file was processed.
Why? Does broker has problems with $ symbol? Maybe it's a special char?
Thanks a lot. |

Did you try "\$*" as an exclusion pattern?

Yes, it says:
File exclusion pattern: The filename contains either file separator "\" or "/" and is invalid |

Yes, it says:
File exclusion pattern: The filename contains either file separator "\" or "/" and is invalid |
How about "\\$*" or "\\\$*" ?
If you are looking at a regular expression it should really be "\$.*" or
back slash dollar dot star ...

No.  It still says that I can't use backslash. |

That's in line with what it says here, where it also says:
| Quote: |
| You cannot specify file names that contain the following characters: the asterisk ('*'), the question mark ('?'), or file name separator characters ('/' and' \'). |
Nothing there about a $ I can see. I'd raise a PMR if I was you, as I too would suspect whatever's parsing the pattern is inappropriately reacting to the $ character. Or at least reacting in an undocumented fashion.

Ok. This says that you can't use '/','\','?','*'.
It's not clear why '$' doesn't work. Perhaps it's because '*' matches 0 or more characters. Try '$?*'.
Also, what was the file name that got processed incorrectly? Is there any way that the filename matched both patterns? (that *shouldn't* cause the file to be processed, but it *might*... ) |
