Property Expressions - Length​

Allows the collection of the full length of a specified Property

Usage:​

  • Multiple files arrive sporadically throughout day
  • Move a file while changing the file extension but keeping the rest of the File Name same
  • Combine Length Expression, Arithmetic Expression, and SubString to automatically keep the full Name but change extension
[[SI.FILENAME]] = Test.txt

[[=Length([[SI.FILENAME]])]] = 8

[[=(Length([[SI.FILENAME]])-4)]] = 4

[[=SubStr([[SI.FILENAME]],0,Length([[SI.FILENAME]])-4)]] = Test

An Expression followed by .xlsx will change the extension of the file while keeping the first part of the Name

Most SMA File Monitors also have a way to pass the Root of a File Name while dropping the extension
