If you want to use an attributefilter to filter by fme_basename is it possible to autocomplete the basenames of the files that are read into the workspace?

Hi,

 

 

I dont think its possible, a workaround would be to write the fme_basename into a file (csv) and import it via the attributefilter.

 

Hope this helps

If this is possible - how do you connect the "new" fme_basenames for each run? 

 

 

Ie if you first run with the files myfile1.txt and myfile2.txt they are all connected OK:

 

 

 

However when you use it the next time with myfile3.txt you will anyway have to create a new line on the AttributeFilter and connect this to your desired output.

 

 

Have I understood correctly? Why do you want to use an AttributeFilter on fme_basename? if this is for writing to different output-files you can use fanout on fme_basename instead:

It's for writing to different layers in a .eps? Cannot fanout layers with an .eps (or not that i've discovered)

 

 

I have used the csv option in the past, I was just wondering if there was an option I'd missed somewhere.
