How to get the top file name and insert into variables?

Post by danger.ngai »

First, what I want to do is:
I need to upload the pdf file existed in specific folder to ERP system ONE BY ONE.
The file name already contains the information I needed to input ERP system, which is

Date_ReportNo_ProjectNo.pdf

So I need to :
1. Run the autotask when the specific folder has a new pdf file
2. Scan the 1st pdf file and get its file name.
3. Divided the name into 3 variables, which are, {Date},{ReportNo},{ProjectNo}
4. Open the webpage and login ERP system, type the 3 variables in specific field and upload the pdf file step by step.
5. Move the uploaded PDF from A folder to B folder.
6. Repeat the task if there is another PDF file after Step 5. Otherwise, end until a new PDF exist.

Any suggestions to do step 2,3,4?
Those always required the source location, but I am not using the fixed file, the PDF will keep changing.
How can I setup "select the 1st file in the folder"?

Look at the example below. You can parse the name of file by using regular expressions.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Code: Select all

Thank you your suggestion.
I saved the above text into tsk file and import to robotask, but no action list is shown for this task even I enabled.
Anything I missed?

Thank you. Now it work.

But 1 question, I need to scan and upload the file one by one.
So if the folder contains more than 1 pdf, this loop will only store the last one as variables.

E.g.
20190606_SK37-0619-1_DECL630.pdf
20190606_SK38-0619-1_DECL631.pdf
20190608_SK66-0619-1_DECL632.pdf
20190609_SK39-0619-1_DECL633.pdf

The 3 variables only record "20190609_SK39-0619-1_DECL633.pdf"
Can the file loop only scan one file?

You have to upload file within the loop if you want to upload file one-by-one.
That is between step #2 (file loop) and #13 (end loop)

Of course variables contain only last value after the loop.

thank you.
I would like to change the date format from 20190619 into 06-19-2019
however, the expression like below:
(^\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4}$)_([^_]+)_([^\.]+)\.pdf
failed to match the result, anything I wrong?

Unfortunately everything

Use the expression to format date from foremat yyyymmdd to your format (mm-dd-yyyy):
{DateTimeToFormat({FormatToDateTime({expr(1)},yyyymmdd)},mm-dd-yyyy)}

Also look at my corrected example
