select files with Wildcard


Hi all,

I am trying to select files from file share:

LOAD

  ^

FROM


(ooxml, embedded labels, header is 1 lines, table is Quote);

I would like to ignore all the files which dont start with alphabet ad first character. Reason office files create a temporary file which qlikview also try to parse and load and error out.

is there a way to select only files where in name first alphabet is a character.

regards

ravi

You could check the first character using for each file in filelist.

you can also disable errors for the xlsx reload. The reload will continue even if errors occur.

SET ErrorMode = 0;


Load * from f:\test\*.xlsx (ooxml, embedded labels, header is 1 lines, table is Qoute);

SET ErrorMode = 1;
