The example specifies LOAD_MODE = ADD_FILES_COPY, which tells Snowflake to copy the files into your external volume location, and then register the files to the table. I have few CSV files in azure blob storage, and we are using COPY INTO command to load the files in snowflake table. The problem is: The file system is: container >> folder (Ex: account) >.
How to Load Data using Pattern Matching with COPY INTO Command in Snowflake? The COPY INTO command supports regular expressions to match and load specific file names using the PATTERN keyword. PATTERN with REGEX: During this post we will discuss how we can use Regular expression in COPY command. As per the current scenario we are getting the multiple feeds files from customer in a bucket.
These Feed files are varying according to their source system. Please note, all heterogenous source system place these files in single bucket. As per the ask we need to select the respective.
These options enable you to copy a fraction of the staged data into Snowflake with a single command. This allows you to execute concurrent COPY statements that match a subset of files, taking advantage of parallel operations. Pattern Matching: Use the PATTERN parameter to match file names and paths using regular expressions.
Transformations: Supports column reordering, omission, and data type casting during data load. You can also specify a list of file names to copy, or copy files by using pattern matching. For information, see the COPY FILES examples.

It will read files matching a pattern and append the records to a table. It does this by reading from an external stage which points to a cloud storage location. This currently supports Azure Storage, Amazon S3, and Google Cloud Storage.
Alternatively, you can setup an internal stage which is a file location within Snowflake and PUT. Pattern-matching behaviour differs between bulk data load operations and Snowpipe. For bulk data load operations (including COPY INTO and SELECT), the provided RegEx pattern is matched against the entire storage location for a file.
For Snowpipe, the stage's URL is trimmed from the file's storage location prior to applying the RegEx pattern.
