Hey community,

I have a scenario where my file would be imported via ftp. Everyday one single file will be imported but the name of the file would be in the following format: file-import-<datetime>

So in this file name <datetime> is variable. So will acumatica import the same file into the same import scenario with the variation in the ending name of the file? if no then what are the possible ways? Is there any option to define an expression or maybe just before the import it changes the file name and then import it ?

I’m hoping someone replies to this!  I’m trying to find out how to put a mask Import File Reg. Exp. in Synchronization on screen SM202510.  The help topic https://help-2022r2.acumatica.com/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=8af2b749-8998-4da9-8b4a-50904ca7c2c0 says to use a reg expression, but I can’t find how that should be formatted.  Maybe someone who responds to this will have the answer.
