1. Make sure you have FileContains function installed
Before creating a custom trigger to use the function FileContains, you need to have build installed in the server where JSCAPE MFT Server is running.
2. Create a trigger to use the function
Now login into admin console of JSCAPE MFT Server > Triggers and Click Add to create a Trigger. Give the trigger a Name and then select the File Upload event type from the drop-down list.
Click Next to Step 2 to set the condition, ClickFunctionsbutton to select the function FileContains(filepath,regex).
If the function not listed you need to have build installed in the server. Use the below condition to check whether the word stop (irrespective of it's case) is in the file .
FileContains(LocalPath,"^stop.*$")=TRUE
Click Nextto proceed. On TRUE move the files.
On Step 3 an action has to be added, in order to add an action click Addbutton and select the action "Move File" from drop down list and Click OK
On OK there would be two parameters for Move File Action;

Click Ok to save the settings. That's it. Now you know how to use the custom function FileContains and move file on specific word using regular expression.
