MINUMUM IMPORTER VERSION: 3.20.0001.0001


EVENT: FolderBeforeImport


SYNOPSIS: Renames the incoming files using wild card techniques.


DESCRIPTION: File Rename will rename the incoming files by using wild card replacements or static values. If you replace with a static value then the file will be renamed as the static value with no wild card replacements. If you use wild cards then the file is named more intelligently.


CONFIGURATION: You need to specify the source file's wild card (FROM) and the destination file's wild card (TO).





Source Wildcard: The wildcard that is used to determine which files to rename. This uses the standard .NET path searchPattern techniques as outlined in  this Microsoft article.


Destination Wildcard: This wildcard uses a similar technique to replace the file name values to create a new file name.



EXAMPLE
