Paths
Certain operations work on paths. Couchdrop has a bunch of path variables available that can be used to craft relevant paths.
When working with paths, we need to determine whether the path provided is a folder or absolute filename.
If the path provided ends with a "/", then we will assume that the path is a directory and include it and the original filename,
For example:
Source File | Configured Path | Result |
---|---|---|
/directory/filename.txt | /newdir/ | /newdir/filename.txt |
/directory/filename.txt | filename2.txt | /directory/filename2.txt |
You can use dynamic variables in the path to compose a useful destination filename. Available variables are:
Variable | Example Result | Desc |
---|---|---|
{EXISTING_NAME} | filename.txt | Take the filename |
{TIMESTAMP} | 160331234 | A unix timestamp |
{YYYY} | 2050 | The current year |
{YY} | 50 | The current year in shorthand |
{MM} | 03 | The month |
{DD} | 10 | The day of the month |
{USER} | donald | The user on the event |
{EVENT.*} | {EVENT.username} - donald | Any attribute on the event |
