Regex Inside Properties File

I'm using a XDFileDirListAgent to find the count of files in a directory.

This directory might have other files in it, so I've created the following regex to only count the number of files I'm interested in.

\d{4}-\d{8}-\d{8}-\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{8}-\d{6}\.csv


This works fine when I have this regex inside my selection expression, but when I attempt to move it into a properties file, I always get a count of zero.

I know the properties file is working, as I have many other variables for other objects in there and those are being read fine.

Here is how I'm trying to call my regex from my properties file.

_property(_concat(_sreg(iwayhome), _sreg(myproject.propertyfileloc)), filecountregex)


Here is my regex inside of my properties file.

#File Pattern Regex
filecountregex = \d{4}-\d{8}-\d{8}-\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{8}-\d{6}\.csv


Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?

Thanks.

I think you need to double all the "\" in the property file since it's interpreted as a string.

It should be like this in your property file
#File Pattern Regex
filecountregex = \\d{4}-\\d{8}-\\d{8}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}-\\d{8}-\\d{6}\\.csv
