Index Data Reader "FileName"

The index data reader "FileName" processes arbitrary files. Here, the extraction of index data is limited to header data and in terms of content to the path of the file attachment in question.

Depending on the input system, there may be either a complete folder path or just a file name. When inputting from the file system, the folder for the directly transferred files is always known. Embedded attachments that are subsequently extracted from these files, on the other hand, usually have no folder specification. This also applies to files that are transferred via email or web service.

Syntax for the .InputName property:

  • File: full base file name

  • File(p): part of the base file name (starting at character position p)

  • File(p,l): part of the base file name (starting at character position p and with length l)

  • File(n, "s"): nth partial value from a base file name with values separated by the character s

  • Folder: full folder path

  • Folder[n]: subfolder name of the nth level

Counting for character position and folder level always starts at 1. A partial value might also be extracted from the values obtained via Folder or Folder[n] in analogy to File(...).

Examples of a path c:\temp\test_123.pdf:

  • File test_123

  • File(6) 123

  • File(1,4) test

  • File(2,"_") 123

  • Folder[1] temp
