CreateResource with incomplete name

[Der Frank]

Hello,

hope someone can help me. I want to place a picture via CreateResource.

The input list for fusionpro contains the name e.g "ABC" of the picture.

 

The actual pdf I want to pick is named "ABC1112" (name + timestamp)

The timestamp may change from time to time, but this shouldn't matter. As long as the picture starts with "ABC" it's the correct one.

 

Is there any possibility to pick a picture only knowing a part of the PDF-name.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Frank

P.S. the FP-file will not be used within Marcom Central.

You could do something like this:

 

var filename = Field("name") + Field("timestamp") + ".jpg";

return CreateResource(filename, "graphic", true);

If you're asking whether you can do a kind of wildcard-based search for a file on the system, like "ABC*", the answer is No, you can't, not from a rule. You would need to have a separate script or process find the matching file name and provide it to FusionPro as data. Such a workflow generally requires FusionPro Server for automation.

Hi Dan,

 

thanks for your reply. I feared this answer - it's not a regulation within FP, but with the communication to the operating system around.

Your answer helped me, not to run in the wrong direction.
