Product/components used and version/fix level: MFT 10.7

Detailed explanation of the problem:

Hi experts,

On schedule action if we use a FIND action and try to find a specific fliename example *.PDF, the scheduled action event was able to find and return both files with all caps (.PDF) and small caps (.pdf). Is there a way to make the FIND a case sensitive find? LIke the way we do a <> command when searching files in Unix where its a case sensitive search.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,
Yes, this is case insensitive. However, you can use regular expression for your use case. Unfortunately, there is no option to specify if the regular expression is to be used.
So you will have to specify this in a particular format, that is REGEX:<search_string>.
Please use following value in filename field: REGEX:(?-i)\w+.PDF$

This will return you only the files ending with .PDF

Please let me know if this does not help.

Thanks,
Bhaskar

I’m curious as to the scenario where the difference between 2 files being only the character-case of the last 3-chars is meaningful.
