Process Documents from Files - file pattern

CharlieFirpo

Dear all!

I have a folder that contains several different files (different in names and in extensions as well). I want only use the files that contains <text> string in filename. How can I set it in the file pattern parameter using Process Documents from Files operator? If I use *text* , RM does not read any files from the appropriate folder.
Let say I have these filenames: asd_text-fgh.txt, qwe.textrty.xls, ... I think *text* pattern should return these two filenames. Or not?

Thanks for reply!!!

The pattern is a regular expression *text* will not work. try ".*text.*"

Here is a sample process for your reference

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<process version="5.3.007">
  <context>
    <input/>
    <output/>
    <macros/>
  </context>
  <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.007" expanded="true" name="Process">
    <process expanded="true">
      <operator activated="true" class="loop_files" compatibility="5.3.007" expanded="true" height="76" name="Loop Files" width="90" x="179" y="75">
        <parameter key="directory" value="/tmp"/>
        <parameter key="filter" value=".*text.*"/>
        <process expanded="true">
          <operator activated="true" class="provide_macro_as_log_value" compatibility="5.3.007" expanded="true" height="76" name="Provide Macro as Log Value" width="90" x="45" y="30">
            <parameter key="macro_name" value="file_name"/>
          </operator>
          <operator activated="true" class="log" compatibility="5.3.007" expanded="true" height="76" name="Log" width="90" x="447" y="120">
            <list key="log">
              <parameter key="file_name" value="operator.Provide Macro as Log Value.parameter.macro_name"/>
            </list>
          </operator>
          <connect from_port="file object" to_op="Provide Macro as Log Value" to_port="through 1"/>
          <connect from_op="Provide Macro as Log Value" from_port="through 1" to_op="Log" to_port="through 1"/>
          <connect from_op="Log" from_port="through 1" to_port="out 1"/>
          <portSpacing port="source_file object" spacing="0"/>
          <portSpacing port="source_in 1" spacing="0"/>
          <portSpacing port="sink_out 1" spacing="0"/>
          <portSpacing port="sink_out 2" spacing="0"/>
        </process>
      </operator>
      <connect from_op="Loop Files" from_port="out 1" to_port="result 1"/>
      <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
      <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
      <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
    </process>
  </operator>
</process>

Thank you for reply!

Your process works for me (returns the expected filenames/paths), but when using the same regular expression at "Process Documents from Files" operator, it does not work
If I use nothing in "file pattern" then my process work properly. But I want it not read all files but only that contains specific string...
