I have two files in a common directory with the following naming scheme
{Know prefix}_{variable suffix}
{Know prefix}_{known infix}_{variable suffix}
ex.
ABC_123
ABC_XYZ_123
Is there an easy way to read in only the file without the infix? The standard wildcard {prefix}* will pick up both files. Currently I'm testing the fme feature type to see whether or not it contains the infix, but ideally I would like to not even read it in.
Heya @jdh,
Excellent question - Just thinking about a workaround which popped into my head, while it's inconvenient Would the PATH reader followed by FeatureReader be an option here for you?
