    Hello Ashok: java based regular expressions are used for creating patterns in file masking.  

    Example:          To mask only/all files like “HR_File” with a date stamp

    Pattern:            (?>(^HR_FILE_)[0-9]{8}(.txt)) 

    File names found are: 

                   HR_File_20150912.txt, HR_FILE_20150914.txt, HR_File_20150916.txt

    File name not matched may be: 

                   JH_HR_File_33333333.txt, HR_File_not.txt, XX_File_20100101.txt

    Additional help in writing regular expression can be found at Regex Planet

    Hi,

     

    I have tried to mask below 2 files.

    Test_20190206.txt

    Ashok,401

    Siddharth,402

    Anurag,403

    I am using (?>(^Test_)[0-9]{8}(.txt))  Regular expression in file name pattern while creating ruleset.

    I have added header for these two files individually and I applied FULL_NM_SL (for Name column) and ACCOUNT_SL(For No column).

     

    While running masking job it has masking 2nd file column name also. But I got below results

     

    Test_20190207.txt

    Name, No

    Ferguson Buckingham,805

    Rory       McGrath,809

    Ramsey                Bain,800

    Romanth Golly,Nx

    Romanth Foss,705

    Radford                Chittenden,709

    Romeo Emerson,700
