                                          | sorry didnt understand whats the difficulty you're facing. Are you trying to identify files that belong to a particular day? If yes, you can use Instr() function inside script task to check for current date patter within filename. just need to compare filename variable against a variable containing value of now() function which gives current datetime value. Also make sure you do proper formatting of date to get in same format as in filename before the comparison using Instr()------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/  |
