File Name Condition

File Name Condition tasks test the original name of the job file traveling down the process branch, or in other words, the name of the file received by the last input task appearing above the condition.

Task properties

General Tab
  • File name mask: Enter one file name mask or multiple masks separated by a semicolon (;). See Masks. The condition will be tested True only in the case of an exact match, so consider using wildcard characters.
  • Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and vice versa).

On Error Tab

For a description of the options on the On Error tab see Using the On Error tab.

Miscellaneous Tab

The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.

It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Process area.

The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in The Process area with the default color, set in the Preferences (see Colors), or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight button on the View ribbon.
