Process 1 file out of multiple in Email

mtran

Hello,

  I'll start off that I don't have any issues running my process when there is only 1 attachment to the email received.  The issue I am running into is when there is more than 1 attachment in the email.  I only want to process 1/2 of the files attached.  I tried to put in the file name into the 'attachment file pattern' field not sure if I have it entered incorrectly.  
Attachment File Pattern: 'test.xlsx'

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.  I've posted my XML below

Hi @mtran,

the parameter setting looks good.

Some remarks:

- If you only want to process 1 file and you know the name, there is no need for the Select Operator. You can enter the file name in the Parameter

- If the file names always differ, maybe there is a pattern which you can use as input together with placeholders (* ?)

- Just to be sure: You wrote: "I only want to process 1/2 of the files attached". I assume you meant only 1 of 2 files (and not half of the files), right?

Please find attached my XML which worked fine.

Happy Mining,

Edin
