Hi,
I have a daily data source file that requires accessing, however each the name of the source file itself is different with a new datetime stamp appended at the end:
For example each the file has the following name followed by the YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS:
DELIVERY ADDRESS & TYPE PP32024-02-04-14-25-00
DELIVERY ADDRESS & TYPE PP32024-02-05-14-25-08
DELIVERY ADDRESS & TYPE PP32024-02-06-14-25-07
Is there a way of using a "contains" to reference the first part of the source file so that it is dynamic for all future files?
If so, how do I write this code?
Thanks!
Thanks Amit. However, this didn't seem to work for the text.contains function or I was doing it wrong.. As it is a cumulative file of records I found another solution which works and allows the new file to replace the previous day's one without explicit reference.
