[resolved] File name pattern match

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have ajob which, depending on data transformed creates multiple files. My next job checks if any of the files exist and abort if at least one file exists.
I am using tFileExist to check for file name and it works fine. I want to do one check instead of checking for every file. I can include a pattern in file name to lookup multiple files, but I don't see anything in tFileExist component whcih would help me.
Please suggest how to do that in Talend.
Thank you,
Peter.

Hello
You can use the tFilelist component where you are able to set the pattern, eg: *.txt. With the global variable:
((Integer)globalMap.get("tFileList_1_NB_FILE")), you can know if at least one file exists or not.

Thank you, Shong.
That's what I ended up implementing.
