KMZ File Feature Reader

Yes Why Not

Hi @asadamjad​ 

The Earliest_Reasonable_2 and Earliest_Reasonable_3 transformers uses the following Regex to find the first match in the HTTP response:

• al[0-9]{6}_most_likely_toa_34_latest.kmz
• EP[0-9]{6}_earliest_reasonable_toa_34_latest.kmz

There are almost 90 files that matches this expression in the HTTP response. The workspace is only finding the first match and downloading those files. These are:

• EP012018_earliest_reasonable_toa_34_latest.kmz
• AL012018_most_likely_toa_34_latest.kmz.

If you manually download these files and open them with Google Earth, you will see there are no geometry--only a balloon popup. For these files without geometry, only the style and document features are output from the KML reader.

I would suggest checking your workspace and transformer configuration to ensure the correct files are being download and read.

To find all matches with the StringSearcher, add a value to the All Matches List Name parameter. You can then use a ListExploder to see the matched files. This article should help you get started on lists.

Hi @asadamjad​ 

The files you are working with are named in a way that is not very conducive to sorting (ie. <prefix><Year><eventNumber>) and the newest file is not listed at the end of the table.

You may have to explode the list, extract the year and event number from the file name, then sort alphabetically in a descending manner to get the latest file. Alternatively, you can also try to sort by the table's Last modified cell value.
