• .NET Development FTP mget latest date

  Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm hoping someone can help me with a piece of FTP code. I am trying to pull data from a remote location. I know the name, but the date tag changes every day as a new file is created. Is there a way of pulling only the latest file date based on the creation date for a given partial named string. For example: File naming convention is "data_yyyymmdd.dat". Using mget I could write: mget data_*.dat However this would copy across all of the files.. not just the latest. Is anyone able to help Thanks Alx Hi Rizwan Thanks for your suggestion. I tried "ls" but is only supplies the file name, so I tried "dir" ...Show All

• SQL Server How SSIS works with data sources other than SQL Server?

  Hi: I am new to SSIS. I would like to know if I want to transfer data from one Oracle schema to another Oracle schema and also to do scheduling of the packages, can I still use SSIS If yes, what are the components that need to be installed on the database server and the development environment I hope I don't need the full SQL Server database installation in order to use SSIS. Thanks! MuiSukYuen I've had a lot of luck loading Oracle but it will be challenging in some areas.

• Visual C#

  Hi! Could anyone tell me what the following code does exactly,please Regex.Replace(strInput, "[^\\w\\s]", ""); Thanks in advance! No What he was saying and If i would have seen it I would have commented. the - character specifies ranges. For example [a-zA-Z] specifies all characters a though z and A through Z. Thus if you want to use the - in side of a group as in actually match that character it has to be the LAST character. Which is why the - was placed at the end. So my explanation should have been Match all characters that DO NOT (^) match (\w alphanumeric characters) and \s (white space and tab) and - (hyphen) and replace them with "" Remember the ^ ...Show All
