Create new folder daily and write files

[wcotis]

Looking to use Mirth Connect to receive files and write them to a backup NAS. Need to create a new folder each day and write that days files then the next day and so on.
Can this be done in Mirth Connect? How?

Yes it can be done. Plenty of information in the docs and forums to get started. Do you have an existing Mirth environment? https://docs.nextgen.com/bundle/Mirth_User_Guide_40/page/connect/connect/topics/c_Using_Open_Source_Software_mirth_connect_ug.html #5320

Yes, Mirth Connect 4.1.0
I have the basics set up, DICOM send to the Mirth and it then uses "File Writer" to write the files to a specified folder. I need to create a new folder for each day and write to it.

Mirth will create the named folder you specify in the folder settings.

Thanks, I was able to get this sorted out yesterday, used the "${date.get('yyyy-M-d')}" mapping and it is working.

[wcotis]

The "Directory" statement being used, "C:/${date.get('yyyy-M-d')}/${vPID}" is getting me close to what is needed.

This places each folder and file for the date into one folder with that date - folder "2025-1-15" created and multiple subfolders are written there as the folder exists after the first files are received.

I need to have these "daily" folders written to a "monthly" folder. "2025-1" with the daily folders as shown above written in this folder.

How can these statement be nested in Mirth in the "Directory" location? I have searched but find nothing about nesting or concatenating these statements.

[pacmano1]

/tmp/${date.get('yyyy-M')}/${date.get('yyyy-M-d')}/${vPID}

On linux of course which would result in:

SENT: File successfully written: /tmp/2025-1/2025-1-15/400960121/3.hl7

I would use two digits for day and month always though.

Thank you.
