Hello,

I have a job, with a file trigger which starts when a file is created in the directory.

It will be named either People.txt or VIPPeople.txt

I'd like to run one task if it's people, a different task if it is VIPPeople.

Is there a way to do this?

I could try a trigger with file mask with *VIP*.txt but I'm not sure how I'd setup the other job trigger.

Thanks,

Drew

Hi ScubaDrew,

You could make the job trigger to files like: *People.txt
Than you could add two conditions: Both reading the triggered filename of the trigger event. The 1st will match this output to People.txt, the other to VIPPeople.txt.
You should setup the actions so that the task getting this condition my only run on match all/any, otherwise it should go to the next task.

Now you can make two tasks, one for the People.txt and one for the VIPPeople.txt and adding the right condition to both and you're done.

An other way is to make two jobs, so you do not haveto make conditions.

Erik

Thanks Erik, I'm going to give this a shot now. I was trying to impliment the single Job solution, but having trouble figuring a wa to setup the conditions on the filename. I'll look again now and post my success or failure.

I'm trying to use a variable condition with Value 1 set to:

{STRING(Contains|{TRIGGER(7f05c220-97c2-4038-8dd7-238ad4f697c6,5bbaf2c8-7ae7-496d-aae7-58cf4de1a8aa,File.Result.Name)}|VIP)}

Then Type: String Condition: Equal

Value 2: True

But despite the fact the value preview gives the results I expect, when the job is actually run, this condition is never met.

I can't find any documentation on the variable conditions either.

Thanks for any help,

Drew

Got this working by changing Value 1 to:

{STRING(Contains|{TRIGGER(fa570034-34b8-43f6-adf9-13a7cc8ef1ee,f2b2b915-c7c8-4c7b-a2e9-988dfee43341,File.Result.Name)}|VIP)}

This is under Trigger->File->Result verus Trigger->File->Last Trigger.

Thanks,
