File(s) Deletion

Will delete 0-n files based on a path and pattern.

This module is designed to be located in the middle of a flow.

Settings

Input

If the Static File Pattern is not set the module require the File Pattern Property to be included on the incoming message.

Output

The same as input

Example 1

Usage with Static File Pattern and wildcard in file name. We will delete all .txt files in the folder named myFolder.

Settings

Static File Pattern = './myFolder/*.txt'
Include Subfolders = false

Input

{
  example:{
    data:{
      temp: 342,
      rpm: 4500
    }
  }
}

Output

{
  example:{
    data:{
      temp: 342,
      rpm: 4500
    }
  },
  crosser : {
    success: true
  }
}

Example 2

Usage with dynamic File Pattern Property and Include Subfolders set to true.

This will delete all .log files (including all subfolders from the current location).

Settings

Static File Pattern = ''
File Pattern Property = 'example.pattern'
Include Subfolders = true

Input

{
  example:{
    pattern: './*.log',
    data:{
      temp: 342,
      rpm: 4500
    }
  }
}

Output

{
  example:{
    pattern: './*.log',
    data:{
      temp: 342,
      rpm: 4500
    }
  },
  crosser : {
    success: true
  }
}

Note

If one or more files fails to be deleted the crosser object will have the property success set to false and a message property will provide an explanation about the error.

If no files were found to delete that will not cause an error.
