Case-sensitive issue

Is there any way to tell the External source stage to grab filenames without being case-sensitive? ie. .xml, .XML, .xMl

I can request that all files are the same case, but figured i'd try to find another solution.

Any advice???

Thanks in advance,

Nicole

You haven't told us what command you are using in the ESS. Grep supports -i for "case insensitive" so an ls piped to grep could filter out all of the ".xml" files regardless of case. You could also use a regular expression like [xX][mM][lL] to find them.

Ok, I was only using the ls command...changed it to use grep as well. Thanks
