PATTERN supports the Java Pattern class syntax. You can always list files in your user stage (i.e. no privileges are required).
To list files in a table stage, you must use a role that has the OWNERSHIP privilege on the table. PATTERN supports the Java Pattern class syntax. The goal is to copy only the last few files from a stage to a table (based on date).
I'm trying to find a straight forward way in snowflake to do that. I know there's LIST command that give the list of files based on the pattern. But that is not useable (as in you can't use it in a select statement).
There JS solutions for this scenario, which is a bit hacky, but is there anyway I can copy. Have you ever wondered how to get back a list of files with a prefix from a Snowflake Stage? I did, and then I had a customer ask me last week. I hacked and hacked for a few hours trying to get th.
Arguments stage_name Identifier of the stage; for example: @my_stage/path. Options --pattern TEXT Regex pattern for filtering files by name. For example -pattern ".*.txt" will filter only files with.txt extension.

Snowflake supports using standard SQL to query data files located in an internal (i.e. Snowflake) stage or named external (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Microsoft Azure) stage. This can be useful for inspecting/viewing the contents of the staged files, particularly before loading or after unloading data.
The --like[-l] option lets you specify a SQL LIKE pattern for filtering objects by name. For example, snowobjectlistfunction--like"my%" lists all functions that begin with my. Developer Snowflake CLI Command reference Stage commands stage list snow stage list Lists all available stages.
Syntax. The.*SAMPLE_FILE_NAME.csv.* pattern does not work because. before csv only matches any single char, while there are many more chars between NAME and csv.
You can use 'SAMPLE_FILE_NAME_.*\\.csv' If the path includes directory name, you might need to add.* at the start and use '.*SAMPLE_FILE_NAME_.*\\.csv' See the regex demo Note that to match a literal dot, you need to escape it with a.
