Get file by name

[andre.fc....@gmail.com]

Good morning all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a file Id by file name?

I need to apply dynamic pdf transformations, but the stylesheets can be changed often and I don't want to have to update process whenever something is changed.

Thanks.

Hi Andre,

This is not possible directly, whereas reverse is possible using file_desc(fileId) because file name is not unique only file id is unique.

Ref for usage of file_desc(fileId): https://groups.google.com/a/runmyprocess.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/supportforum/file_desc/supportforum/LqWIfDbWhyU

however, you can maintain a collection to map file id,name, url and use them to get url from collection and then pass its variable in process.

Regads,
