Process files having yesterday timestamp in filename

Hi there

 

I have a scenario like this:

 

From Google cloud bucket I am downloading all the files from particular bucket to local folder and get all different files like this:

0683p000009MaI9.png

 

I want to get activities_05272020_*.gz and books_05272020_*.gz file and process them. Like this, every day new file will be arriving and I will have to process previous day file.

 

What's the best way to resolve this?

 

Thanks

Harshal.

Hi
Using a tFileList to iterate the files under the specified folder, set the filemask as:
"*_"+TalendDate.formatDate("MMddyyyy", TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(), -1, "dd"))+"_*.gz"

That's awesome. 

 

I will try @shong .

 

How can I unzip .gz files and put it into different table eg in this case one file goes into activity and another one goes into book table?
