select wild card for files with dots

[timle]

I would like the script check the folder to see if the file existed but the filename has (.) in it, So the normal wildcard *.
does not work, do you have a trick to do that

thanks,
EX



IfFileexists>C:\PAYSTUBS\STUBS\*._j.john.pdf,
MessageModal>found it
else
MessageModal>notfound

Timle check to make sure you have your file named correctly. I made a little test code for trial and it works fine.

I have a text file on my desktop named "my.test"

and ran the code

Code: Select all

IfFileExists>C:\Users\Me\Desktop\*.test.txt
MessageModal>found it
else
MessageModal>notfound
Endif

and if found it hope this helps

In my example, I have more dot than regular .ext
if I have two files named : document_test.1.pdf and document_test.2.pdf
and I want the script to find the first record , if it finds it it will email to someone

IfFileexists>C:\PAYSTUBS\STUBS\*_.test.1.pdf
MessageModal>found it
else
MessageModal>notfound

if you run this script above, it will say not found

Sorry for the delay in response

i tried the code you posted and your right it does not like it for some reason. Playing around with it tho, I found that it does not like the " *_ " part .To solve this I just backed it up a bit past the " _ "

Code: Select all

IfFileExists>C:\Users\ME\Desktop\*est.1.txt
MessageModal>found it
else
MessageModal>notfound
Endif

And it was able to find a file on my desktop named document_test.1.txt

Note: it also did not like the letter after the " _ " so that is why the " t " in test is missing.
