Has anyone encountered the above error when trying to use the Foundation - File Utilities service Find?
This is occuring in ES2, and I have tried using an asterisk, as well as the exact file name I know exists.
I have tried literals in the Process Properties, as well as passing it in via string variables.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Not sure why it wouldn't find the exact file path if you type it in, but doing a *. for a find would be a syntax error because you aren't specifying a file type. Try *.txt or *.dat or whatever you want and see if that makes the syntax error message go away

Thanks for your response.
Here is what we have learned:
We should not put the regular expression value in single quotes - eliminates the error.
The problem is, the Find operation always returns an empty list no matter what criteria we enter - even C:\ with criteria = *.*
ES 2 is running on a Windows 2003 machine.
Thanks Again

Not sure if you have found the solution already, but use ".*" (without the quotes) in your find operation. Worked for me.

OK - so I have the answer.
The Regular Expression needs to be a real Regular Expression.
This is as opposed to the 8.2 version that the documentation said used a Regular Expression, but actually takes the asterisk style match strings.
Seems obvious once you realize the change.
Thanks to all.
