Hi @Not defined Not defined
I guess you're already using a tFileList to iterate over the list of source files and put their path on tS3Put. If that's the case, I suggest you put a tJava in between those components so you can extract the date String from each file name and compare it with the context variables. Then your job will become something like this:
tFileList -- [iterate] --> tJava --- [If Trigger] --> tS3Put
So in tJava you will have something like this:
//converts the String extracted from file name to Date and puts in a global variable
globalMap.put("FileDate", TalendDate.parseDate("yyyyMMdd", ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_1_CURRENT_FILE")).split("_")[1]);
And on the If trigger connecting tJava and tS3Put you will compare the date stored in the variable above with those in context:
TalendDate.compareDate(context.StartDate, ((Date)globalMap.get("FileDate))) == -1 && TalendDate.compareDate(context.StartDate, ((Date)globalMap.get("FileDate))) == 1
The TalendDate.compareDate() method "return the result whether two date is the same, if first one less than second one return number -1, equal as
return number 0, bigger than return number 1.". There's also another implementation that takes a third parameter, allowing to compare only a date part like "dd" (day) for example.
