SSIS - how to use DestinationVariabke in a File System Task

Asked by CraigLazar in MS SQL DTS, SQL Server 2005

Tags: file, ssis, system, task

Hi,
I am using a File System task in SSIS. My source file is a standard xls output file. i have a for loop container and in this container i have a variable. I need to somehow in the File System task add this variable to the output name of my xls doc.

so lets say my source file is Trn Extract.xls - now based on the current variable value in my for loop container, lets say its currently X
then i need my Destination file name must be "X Trn Extract.xls" and so on so the next one would then use the same source file and the next value of the variable would then be "Y Trn Extract.xls"

Now i have set the IsDestinationPathVariable to True
but i am not sure how to then set the DestinationVariable to my output directory including the variable as part of the file name

hope this makes sense
