I would like to set up the flat file connection manager that would take any file name that starts with "test" and then it could be anything after that. Something like test_*.txt. Can someone please advise how do I make this work? |

you need to set an expression for connection string property of flat file connection manager for that. In expression make first part statis ("test"). then add an expression based on your requirement to get rest of the part.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |

Thanks Visakh16 for replying. I did do that. I put the filename path and the first static part in to a variable and referenced it in the Expression. But how do I use the second part? How do I concatenate that part? |

hi, you could utilize the "Foreach Loop Container" to loop all the file in the folder, later on you can use the "Expression Task" to check the file name same as your rule. |
