How to Matching Pattern
- In the field now labeled File Name / Pattern, enter a regular expression that matches the file name(s) you want.
Pattern syntax
Important: File name matching uses regular expressions, not shorthand wildcards.
| Goal | Example pattern |
|---|---|
Match report_20260101.csv style names (8-digit date suffix) | /^report_\d{8}\.csv$/i |
Match any file starting with report_ and ending with .csv | /^report_.*\.csv$/ |
Notes:
- A wildcard-style pattern like
report_*.csvmust be written as a regex — for example:/^report_.*\.csv$/ - A literal wildcard (
report_*.csv) is not valid and will be rejected as an invalid pattern.
