Move flat files with Path data

[#1]

Hello,

I have a issue.

I load data in many flat files, and I need to move these flat files after the load in an other directory.

My code is :

for each File in filelist ('$(pathData)files for reports\Casino\Casino*.csv')
//for each File in filelist ('$(pathData)files for reports\Casino\Casino_$(DBName)*.csv')
 if isnull(NoOfRows('STATS_CASINO')) then
 LoadPrefix='STATS_CASINO:';
 else
 LoadPrefix='CONCATENATE (STATS_CASINO)';
 end if
 $(LoadPrefix)
 LOAD
 'USERS_MARGE' as "Datasource",
 'casino' as "Universe code marge",
// dayname(makedate(left(DATE,4),mid(DATE,6,2),right(DATE,2))) as "User Marge Date",
 dayname(alt(date#(DATE,'DD-MM-YYYY'),
 date#(DATE,'YYYY.MM.DD'),null())) as "User Marge Date", // 2 different formats (historic and daily files)
 hash128(dayname(alt(date#(DATE,'DD-MM-YYYY'),date#(DATE,'YYYY.MM.DD'),null())),'$(BusinessName)') as KEY_BUSINESS_DATE,
 lower(USERNAME) as "User Pseudo",
// GameWin as "Margin (EUR)"
 BET-WIN-JackpotCosts as "Margin (EUR)",
 BET-WIN-JackpotCosts-Bonus as "Result (EUR)"
 FROM [$(File)] (txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq)
 ;
 let buf = [$(File)];
 let buf2 = [$(pathData)files for reports\Casino\Charge\];
 execute cmd.exe move $(buf)$(buf2);
 exit script;
next File

The path data is a value of Qlikview which can be change and we need $(pathData)

My problem is when a lunch the code the execute don't works, I think is because CMD need " and I don't know use them in qlikview.

Can you help me please?

Kind regards

Bruno

Hi,

try this

execute cmd.exe /c move & '"' &$(buf) & '"' & ' "' & $(buf2) & '"';


i think its because you have spaces in your path and/or filename

I have found 🙂

The good version is :

let buf54 = '$(File)';
 let buf55 = '$(pathData)'&'files for reports\Casino\Charge\';
 execute cmd.exe /c move "$(buf54)" "$(buf55)";

Thank you for your help
