Hi There,

I am trying to automate a download of a text file that is sitting on an ftp site.

The file has a file name which looks something like this "Filename_Date_Time_.csv" eg "Filename_20111107_155324_.csv"

The problem is for ever new file there is a new time stamp and I am not able to automate the download as I never know the full name of my file. I have no problem scheduling the download from a file that I know the full name of. (the company I am doing the downloads from won't remove the time stamp from within the file name) What I am trying to do is download the file only knowing the files prefix.

Is there a way I can download the file just knowing the first two values i.e. the file name and the date of the file... The time will always be different.

I would like to download the file with todays date (FTP_DownloadFile), then remove it off the server (FTP_DeleteFile), then check if there are any other for today?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jake

When faced with a similar problem, I used their FTPeek_GetFileList ( { remoteDir } ) to read the contents into a $var and then looped and processed.

This is exactly right, FTPeek_GetFileList returns the files in the directory in the alphabetical order, so you can look for the last file matches the prefix you're looking for.

Thanks guys, this works great!
