Instead of just looking at the first part of the filename use variables to construct the filename including the repeatable portion.<br />

If you can provide some examples I can help you work out the expression.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
I am building a SSIS which will look for 2 files which will have &lt;filename&gt;Month year.xls.<br />
I want to build the SSIS so it is fully automated I have everything working except I can't figure out how to either just look at the first 10 letters of the file name or ?? maybe there's a better way<br />
<br />
Any help is much appreciated. <br />
I am trying to do this with a Data Flow Task in case there is another way

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that can be used to perform a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases and updates to multidimensional cube data. SSIS replaced Data Transformation Services, which had been a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.
