File Matching Expressions using Regular Expressions

Regular expressions can be created using Regex Builder tool.
Each regular expression must start with a definition of the local drive or network share drive, followed by one or more subfolder with a without specified name. It also requires at least one folder that determines the contract number. When saving a regular expression, you must give it a document category name.

Example 1:

(\\\\)Imgsvr05(\\)(\w[\w ]*)\\Jobs(\\)(?<ContractNo>\w+)\\Contract

Explanation of each part of the regular expression:

(\\\\)Imgsvr05 : drive

(\w[\w ]*) : subfolder with any name

Jobs : Jobs subfolder (this subfolder name must be Jobs)

(?<ContractNo>\w+): subfoder that determines the contract number of the document

Contract: Contract subfolder (this subfolder name must be Contract)

The following folder paths would match the above regular expression:

\\imgsvr05\temp\Jobs\333\Contract

\\imgsvr05\test\Jobs\333\Contract

* Contract number extracted from the above valid paths will be 333

The following folder paths would not match the above regular expression:

\\imgsvr05\temp\Jobs\333\Photo

\\imgsvr05\temp\Test\333\Contract

Example 2:

(?<Drive>[a-zA-Z])(:)(\\)(\w[\w ]*)\\Jobs(\\)(?<ContractNo>\w+)(\\)(?<ContractNo>\w+)\\Plan

Explanation of each part of the regular expression:

(?<Drive>[a-zA-Z])(:): local drive

(\w[\w ]*) : subfolder with any name

Jobs : Jobs subfolder (this subfolder name must be Jobs)

(?<ContractNo>\w+): subfoder that determines the contract number of the document

Plan: Plan subfolder (this subfolder name must be Plan)

The following folder paths would match the above regular expression:

D:\temp\Jobs\123\45a\Plans

C:\test\Jobs\123\45b\Plans

*Contract numbers extracted from the above valid paths will be 12345a and 12345b

The following folder paths would not match the above regular expression:

D:\temp\Test\123\45a\Photo

D:\temp\Test\123\45b\Contract
