Move Files¶
Move files to a destination specified in configuration or in the optional input port.
Documentation¶
The destination location can either be specified in the node’s configuration or by adding the optional File destination input port. When the File destination input port is used the destination is taken solely from that port and not from the configuration.
When specifying the destination directory in the configuration, you can leave it empty to use the directory of the source file as destination directory.
Missing directories will be created if needed.
Renaming files with a regex¶
Instead of specifying a static destination in the configuration, you can also specify a destination by enabling Use regex and writing a regex and replacement string.
For example with the regex ^folder_([0-9]+)/datafile.csv$ and
replacement string datafile_.csv, the destination for a file at
location folder_1234/datafile.csv would be datafile_1234.csv.
For more information about how to write regex, see Regular expression syntax.
