Help with my first flow

[JuiceC]

Hi all,



I am very new to switch and have been trying to get a flow working urgently for a project but I am unable to come up with a solution.



I have multiple users adding pdf's to an FTP site, each only have access to their own user folders. They each have multiple job folders. The structure is below:



====================



Active

- User1

- - Job001

- - - 001-of-002.pdf

- - - 002-of-002.pdf

- - Job002

- - - 001-of-004.pdf

- - - 002-of-004.pdf

- - - 003-of-004.pdf

- - - 004-of-004.pdf



- User2

- - Job001

- - - 001-of-003.pdf

- - - 002-of-003.pdf

- - - 003-of-003.pdf





Processed



====================



I need the flow to merge all files within each job folder when they are all present. Then output using the same structure into the processed folder as single pdf's.



I can get the pdf's and retain the structure, set the hierarchy but it fails when I try to assemble the job. I need to get it to read that the last 3 digits = total number of files. Then when that number of files are present, process.



I hope I explained that well enough. Any questions please ask.



Any help really will be gratefully received!



Many thanks



Ben

Hi,



The trick to the Assembler when using the Scheme "Numbers in filename" to make sure there are no other numbers in your file name (like a docket number). It may not like the leading zeros in your file name either. You should run the files through a rename element first to strip out the zeros or other docket numbers.



When you have files named 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4 and 4 of 4, this should work



Number index for total and serial should be set to Automatic.
