Hi - Need your help in this. Below is the scenario :
1. I have got of files with the format (Name_ID_PatientID_currenttimestamp.pdf), these files are generated daily. Highlighted yellow is the PatientID in the file. these files are in Folder A
2. I also save these filenames and Patient ID in a SQL table.
3. Now, I want to Match with the Patient ID in SQL table with the Patient ID (Name_ID_PatientID_currenttimestamp.pdf) in Folder A and move these files to Folder B and Folder C.
How do i do that ? Is it possible ? Thank you in advance

"I also save these filenames and Patient ID in a SQL table" --1
"Now, I want to Match with the Patient ID in SQL table with the Patient ID" --2

Doesn't the table from statement (1) provide this match for you?

I want to move those matched PDF files with Patient ID from Folder A to Folder B and Folder C.

Is this the required process? If not, what is?

For each file
Extract the patient Id from the file name
Check whether the extracted patient Id matches a row in the SQL Server lookup table
If a match is found
Copy the file to folder B
Copy the file to folder C
Delete the file from folder A
End If
Next file

For each file

Extract the patient Id from the file name

Check whether the extracted patient Id matches a row in the SQL Server lookup table

If a match is found

move the file to folder B

move the file to folder C

End If

Next file

OK, so you need to use a FOREACH container to iterate round the files in the folder.

Use an Expression to extract the Patient Id from the file name and store in a package-scoped variable.

Use an ExecuteSQL task to check for the value in the lookup table, using the stored variable. Return 1 for found, 0 for not found (for example).

Use File System Tasks or a C# Script Task to copy the files, if 1 was returned (use a Precedence Constraint to control whether this gets executed).
