Problem in script : Variable keep value in memory

jmialoundama — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 17:33:00 GMT

Hello, I have a problem with the following script:

LET vFilePath ='lib://AttachedFiles';
FOR EACH file in FileList('$(vFilePath)/*.csv'); // Loops each excel file in the given Folder
LET vFileDate = Date(Left(right(file,28),8)); // Gets the year portion from the filename
LET vMaxDate = Rangemax(vFileDate, vMaxDate); // Gets the max year for every iteration
NEXT


Data:
LOAD *
FROM [$(vFilePath)/$(vMaxDate)-product-extract.csv]
(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is '|', msq);

The script works very well, that is, it will fetch me the last CSV file on my server.

However, when I change the name of the path where I have to look for the CSV file, I have the following error:

Cannot open file: 'lib://AttachedFiles/20181028-product-extract.csv'

While the new folder contains exactly the same CSV. I feel that my vFilePath variable keeps track of the folder path.

How could I solve that?

Thanks in advance 🙂

When you say "change the name of the path" do you mean you edit the folder in the connection named "AttachedFiles"? Or something else?

Hello Rob,

I have toi differents connexion:
- first connexion : lib://Attachements
- 2nd connexion : lib://.....\Approvisionnement Logvad

My second connexion contains exactly same csv files.
When i change the name of path I have this error : «Cannot open file lib://Attachementd\20181118-product-extract.

So, i think My variable vFilePath keep in memory the folder wich receive at first and when i Want to change the path it’s not works.

This doesn't look like a valid connection name.

.....\Approvisionnement Logvad

The .... is sure to confuse the script parser.
