[mapserver-users] File name substitution in TILEINDEX file name?

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

I did a quick test with _??_????_, but no luck.  Thinking on it some more.  this is probably the desired behavior, since interpreting the ?? chars correctly could lead to multiple files being selected.

I’m trying to maintain an archive of the tile set based on date, but use only the non-date formatted file name for MapServer.

Looks like the easiest is to use a generic naming scheme instead.   Hmm, I wonder, can a URL be used in the TILEINDEX as NAME instead of a filename?

All,

I good one for you all.  I have a current TILEINDEX that has a file naming scheme like so:

“544000_144000_4000_01_2016_SAINT_PAUL.PNG”

I was wondering if I can do something like this instead for the file name:

“544000_144000_4000_??_????_SAINT_PAUL.PNG”
or
“544000_144000_4000_*_SAINT_PAUL.PNG”

Will these names be interpreted correctly?  is there some sort of escaping needed?

Thanks
