I would like to be able to specify and process a file name with today’s date using either fileset/local or file. Ex:

Take a look at the example: $HCIROOT/contrib/fileset_numfile_out.tcl
It should be easy to modify to do what you want
Be careful when using a datetime stamp as part of the file name. Cloverleaf can easily process more than one message per second and you will lose messages by overwriting previous ones. Consider using the datetime stamp along with a counter.
Cloverleaf is a “store and forward” engine. It has no knowledge of what came before and what is coming after. Therefore it would have no knowledge of a previously processed message once delivered.

Is there a way to change the INBOUND filename so the it picks up a different file to process by name? The name would have a date in it that would change.

Look at fileset_dir_parse.tcl in the contrib directory. You can choose whatever files you want

Hi Rick,
If you want to determine which inbound files you want to process, you do this via ‘Directory Parse’: with a tcl-script you can determine yourself which files you want to process. By default all files are processed, so all filenames are included in xlateOutVals of Directory Parse. By only including certain filenames in xlateOutVals, only these files will be processed.

I have tried a few different ways. Here is what I have gotten to and the script does not pick up my file. Any ideas?
#
proc tps_fileset_dir_parse { args } {
global HciConnName ;# Name of thread
keylget args MODE mode ;# Fetch mode
set ctx “” ; keylget args CONTEXT ctx ;# Fetch tps caller context
set uargs {} ; keylget args ARGS uargs ;# Fetch user-supplied args
set debug 0 ; ;# Fetch user argument DEBUG and
catch {keylget uargs DEBUG debug} ;# assume uargs is a keyed list
set module “tps_fileset_dir_parse/$HciConnName/$ctx” ;# Use this before every echo/puts,
;# it describes where the text came from
set dispList {} ;# Nothing to return
switch -exact — $mode {
start {
# Perform special init functions
# N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args
if { $debug } {
puts stdout “$module: Starting in debug mode…”
}
}
run {
# ‘run’ mode always has a MSGID; fetch and process it
keylget args MSGID mh
set filespec *.*; keylget args ARGS.FILESPEC filespec
set file_list [msgget $mh]
echo $file_list
set date [clock format [clock scan now] -format %Y%m%d]
append my_filename Rick_file $date .csv
set outList {}
lappend outList $my_filename
echo outList $outList
echo $mh
msgset $mh $outList
lappend displist “CONTINUE $mh”
}
time {
# Timer-based processing
# N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args
}
shutdown {
# Doing some clean-up work
}
default {
error “Unknown mode ‘$mode’ in $module”
}
}
return $dispList
}

What doesn’t work Rick? At first glance your tcl-script looks ok. What do your echo commands show?

Huh? What are you trying to do here?
You get the list of input file canidates in the file_list variable then you do nothing with it. You create a variable named my_filename that looks like: “Rick_file20150901.csv” You then assign that variable to a list, outlist, and return that.
You cannot create filenames here. You are given a list of files the engine proposes to process and the order it will process them. You are to return a list telling the engine which files to process and the order in which to process.
It cannot process a file name that is made up.
It may be better if you were to tell us in definitive terms what you are trying to do. At this point I am not sure if you are trying to input or output files.

If you are looking for extended information in the File List your code definitely need to change – it may also need to change for a simple list as they have gone to keyed list (6.0.0 is even more different).
