Hello Everyone:


I am new to Boston Workstation and I have a few questions.  What I am
attempting to accomplish is to save a file each  week which is
downloaded to a server by an outside vendor to a local drive.   The
files have a slightly different name each week and, further, these are
not the only files downloaded to this server there are others in the
same directory but, my script is to run the remittance for Medicare
files only.  Thus, can wildcards be used in Boston Workstation scripts
and, if so, please provide me an example.   I have tried different ways
using various wildcard characters but, none seem to work.  The following
are examples of the file names for the last three weeks:

HOSP REMIT OH MEDICARE A 010628PF01 ANS.DAT

HOSP REMIT OH MEDICARE A 010720RT01 ANS.DAT

HOSP REMIT OH MEDICARE A 011323GH01 ANS.DAT



Part two of this question, as you can see from above, all the file names
are just slightly different and they are downloaded, to the same folder
on the server and the older copies are not deleted.   Thus, is there a
way that once the files have been identified (by using the wildcard
characters) can I just get the latest version of the file for my weekly
script?  Presently I'm doing this manually and have to look at the last
date the file was modified but, do not know how to do this in BW or, if
it is even possible.



My last question is how do  I show a message box for a specified amount
of time, for example 5 seconds, then have it disappear and the script
continue to the next step without any user interaction?



Hopefully I explained this correctly.



Thanks,
