Get specific file with name like abc_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.csv from directory using mget. Example files in a folder:
abc_20221202_145911.csv
abc_20221202_145921.csv
abc_20221202_145941.csv
abc_20181202_145941.csv
But, I want to ignore hhmmss part. I want to get all files with abc_20221202_*.csv
How to include * in mget. My code below:
File=abc_
Date=20221202
Filename=$File$Date"_*".csv
// Assume I have sftp connection established and I am in directory //where files with above naming convention are present. As I can //download the file when hardcoding exact file name during testing
conn=`lftp $protocol://$user:$password@$sftp_server -p $port <<EOF>/error.log
cd $path
mget $Filename
EOF`
The script is able to find the file but not able to retrieve it from the server. But, if I remove * and provide the entire file name abc_20221202_145941.csv it will download the file. Why is * causing issue in retrieving the file
I think the backtick symbol was causing the problem when using *. Once I removed the ` (backtick) and used below command, it worked fine.
lftp -p $port $protocol://$user:$password@$sftp_server <<EOF>/error.log
cd $path
lcd $targetPath
mget $Filename
EOF
