Filename with bullet character (∙)

[RA0110]

Hi all ,

I have some filenames containing bullet character (∙) which i will like to have it process using folder capture however im not able to capture the files with bullet character (∙) even though i put the mask . .

please advice how can i work on this type of files.

Thank you!

Did you try using a regular expression as your mask?

I ask Copilot this:

How to make a regex mask that includes filename with bullet character

and got this:

/.•./

Can you try it?

Dear @RA0110,

Can you share an example of a filename of such a file which you would like to process using folder capture?

I just executed a basic Workflow process, existing of the Workflow plugins Folder Capture → Set Job Infos and Variables → Delete, in service mode and I am able to process the three TXT files with the below filenames:

• test•123.txt
• test123•.txt
• •test123.txt

Settings applied
