'File Exists' action in Automation Designer does not support wildcards (4310262)

'File Exists' action in automation designer does not support wildcards, although it is stated in the Help that it does.

e.g.

Files file1_1234 and file1_5678 exist in the C:\ drive.

A 'File Exists' action is created to search for' C :\file1_*'.

When this is run, the result is False because it is looking for a file that contains '*'. It is not using the wildcard.

WORKAROUND

None
