I have a route that receives several different file types and the names vary too but always contain a timestamp. I need to process these in timestamp order and planned to use sortBy=file:name, this worked fine in testing but now that we are closer to production we are finding that the file names often contain extra leading characters in addition to the the timestamp, e.g
500432.[timestamp].dat Since the leading 6 characters are random and completely unrelated to the timestamp it completely throws off the sortBy=file:name approach. Is there a way I can specify custom rules to use to determine what Camel should use when doing the sort? The rules would have to be per file type as the name structure varies by type. Is anything like this possible? Any workarounds? -Dave
