File Transfer Examples

Renaming files

The following example combines two renaming possibilities:

• Renaming files
• Adding a date-stamp to file names

Example

The file name part(s) to be replaced is/are defined in the replacing parameter with round brackets () and the new part(s) in the replacement parameter, separated by semi-colons.

...

jade.cmd -settings="%USERPROFILE%\jade_demo\jade_settings.ini" -profile="replace_local_datestamp"

Behavior

The five test_*.txt files in the the a folder will be copied to the b folder and parts of their names will be replaced as described above.

File cumulation

JADE can cumulate the contents of individual files to a single target file:

• Files matching the file_spec regular expression are cumulated together into a new file
• The original files can be deleted if required
• There is not a de-cumulate parameter available at the moment

Example

The example profile downloads the five text_*.txt files from our demo server and adds their contents successively to a cumulative file.

...

jade.cmd -settings="%USERPROFILE%\jade_demo\jade_settings.ini" -profile="sftp_server_2_local_cumulate"

Behavior

Opening the cumulative file text-files.txt in a text editor after transfer has been completed shows the order in which individual files were added to the cumulative file.
