    Regular expression and wildcards

    File Name Recognition Feature 

    • You may specify the filename that will phrase the naming convention. 
    • You may want to define the different tasks for the same subfolder.
    • In some situations, files use a naming convention that has to be filtered to select a very specific type of names
    • Using wildcards and regular expressions it is possible to create a formula for advanced data filtering
       

    Wildcard example:

    One subfolder can store measurements from different presses and different print conditions (substrates):

    LS0000795-coated_135-333278-IC1-2019_07_12-Sheet7-Prinect_Fogra4-1.txt

    LS0025448-uncoated_90-333278-IC1-2019_07_12-Sheet7-Prinect_Fogra4-1.txt

    T007-pvc-01-IC2-2019_08_13t11_46_43-sheet1-sheet1-tvi_l_colorcal35-4.txt

     

    In this case, we can find the following strings:


    -IC1- data from press_01
    -IC2- data from press_02 
    -coated_135-  substrate/print condition A
    -uncoated_90- substrate/print condition B
    -pvc-  substrate/print condition C 

     
    a. To select all jobs from Press 01 printed on Coated paper  enter: 

    *-coated_135-*-IC1-*.txt

    b. To select all jobs from Press 01 printed on Uncoated paper enter: 

    *-uncoated_90-*-IC1-*.txt

    c. To select all jobs from Press 02 printed on PVC  enter: 

    *-pvc-*-IC2-*.txt

    In this example, we have a wildcard selection "*" - means any value in the string. This is the simplest way to filter files by decoding the filename.
