Hello ~ I am trying to have a conditional statement that checks the data of a file and if it does not match the current system date to send me an email, otherwise the file gets SFTP to a vendor. I am having trouble with the syntax that checks the file date.
This is my "IF" condition:
${FileInfo('C:\Program Files\HelpSystems\GoAnywhere\userdata\webdocs\Temp\FULLUPBAL.CSV')}:lastModifiedDate < system.currentDate
Which throws this error:
[8046 - If: ${FileInfo('C:\Program Files\HelpSystems\Go...] Invalid condition syntax in attribute 'condition' of element 'if'. Unrecognizable character '}' found at position '87'.
Any help would be appreciated

Your syntax is off just a little bit, and also I think you may be missing a timestamp task in your project. I have attached my XML for your example but most importantly below is the string I ended up using (Please replace with your full file name as mine is just for testing).
IF Condition:
${FileInfo('C:\Users\jacob.przybysz\Desktop\MFT Testing\custsample.csv'):lastModifiedDate < TimestampNow}
IF Condition:
${FileInfo('C:\Users\jacob.przybysz\Desktop\MFT Testing\custsample.csv'):lastModifiedDate < TimestampNow}
Code: Select all
<project name="Check if File edited today" mainModule="Main" version="2.0" logLevel="verbose">
<module name="Main">
<print version="1.0">
<![CDATA[${FileInfo('C:\Users\jacob.przybysz\Desktop\MFT Testing\custsample.csv'):lastModifiedDate}]]>
</print>
<timestamp version="1.0">
<format outputVariable="TimestampNow" />
</timestamp>
<if condition="${FileInfo('C:\Users\jacob.przybysz\Desktop\MFT Testing\custsample.csv'):lastModifiedDate < TimestampNow}" disabled="false">
<print version="1.0">
<![CDATA[~~This was edited BEFORE the timestamp was taken~~]]>
</print>
<exitProject version="1.0" />
</if>
<print version="1.0">
<![CDATA[***This was edited AFTER the timestamp was taken***]]>
</print>
</module>
</project>
