Aggregate files with the same prefix

[JayQueue]

Hello,

I'm reading a directory with tFileList:

05bc5d63-aef5-4e76-8d7b-789957117d31.pdf

0e9b95e7-5875-47dd-8c54-14293586ac8d.pdf

0e9b95e7-5875-47dd-8c54-14293586ac8d_Bijlage 210120065.pdf

1ab11ca4-fabf-4ace-ba6a-a32391dbb49d.pdf

1ab11ca4-fabf-4ace-ba6a-a32391dbb49d_Bijlage 210120017.pdf

...

And I want to merge the PDFs. Ie:

0e9b95e7-5875-47dd-8c54-14293586ac8d.pdf

0e9b95e7-5875-47dd-8c54-14293586ac8d_Bijlage 210120065.pdf

to

0e9b95e7-5875-47dd-8c54-14293586ac8d_merged.pdf

And

1ab11ca4-fabf-4ace-ba6a-a32391dbb49d.pdf

1ab11ca4-fabf-4ace-ba6a-a32391dbb49d_Bijlage 210120017.pdf

to

1ab11ca4-fabf-4ace-ba6a-a32391dbb49d_merged.pdf

etc.

What I tried:

• tfileList (get all the UUIDs) -> tFileList (process by UUID)
• with a tLoop

I can't seem to figure it out.

Can oneone point me in the right direction? 🙂

Sincerely,

Jonathan

Hi

Do you just want to merge the file name or merge the file content aslo?

Hello,

I need to merge the file content with PDFMerge but I can't seem to group them

Fixed:

tFileList -- Iterate -- tJavaFlex

Start:

ArrayList<String> myFiles = new ArrayList<String>();  

String fileNamePath = ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_5_CURRENT_FILEPATH"));

String fileName = ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_5_CURRENT_FILE"));

String prefix = fileName.substring(0, 36);

System.out.println("Merging " + fileName);

Main:

myFiles.add(fileNamePath);

myFiles.add(context.invoiceFolder + prefix + ".pdf"); 

File file1 = new File(myFiles.get(0));

File file2 = new File(myFiles.get(1)); 

PDFMergerUtility pdfMerger = new PDFMergerUtility();

pdfMerger.setDestinationFileName(context.invoiceFolder + "/"+ "factuur_" + prefix + ".pdf");

pdfMerger.addSource(file2);

pdfMerger.addSource(file1);

pdfMerger.mergeDocuments(null);

End:

Just a simple System.out.println();
