Scheduled import of CSV files - Post(2342) was created by FlowHeater-Team
Is there some way that Flowheater can check a folder for the presence of a file in a folder every 15 minutes. If there is a CSV file present, import the data. Then move the file to a different folder.

Thanks

Hi Kim,

Yes of course :-)

You need the help of the FlowHeater Batch Module , an additional CMD Batch script and nevertheless a Windows Task to schedule the periodical call of this task.

You’ll find an example here: Automated batch CSV import into MS Access

Code:
@echo off REM adapt the following to the actual path of FHBatch.exe set FHBATCH="C:\Program Files (x86)\FlowHeater V3\BIN\FHBatch.exe" REM set the path and CSV file name you can use wildcards! set FILES=c:\Temp\import*.csv REM Check whether CSV files are available if exist %FILES% goto IMPORT echo No files available goto END :IMPORT %FHBATCH% /ReadFileName %FILES% C:\FH\import.fhd REM move the proceeded CSV files to the archive folder move %FILES% C:\FH\Archive\ :END echo END
