thanks to both of you,

files are in fact attachment part mail . I rename the file due to getFrom javamail's method and associated name
Sometimes partners change those values without telling us .In those case file keep the real "getfrom value" for naming file , but I don't know by advance which one.

I want to keep jobs and applications still running 'til the end for "the good ones" and take "the wrong ones" out of the flow!

So I can look after filename that I know with tFileList (with pattern)  and copy them somewhere else ... and it's why the reason for "else"

Perhaps parse twice the file list , first with pattern that I know, and another time with a pattern like "*.unknown" wherein "unknown" is the extension that i've added to unrecognized partners (getfrom value) !

ps : in the generated code there is

java.io.File file_tFileExist_1 = new java.io.File(
                            "/home/raulier/TALEND_TEST/"
                                    + ((String) globalMap
                                            .get("tFileList_1_CURRENT_FILE")));
                    if (!file_tFileExist_1.exists()) {
                        globalMap.put("tFileExist_1_EXISTS", false);
                    } else {
                        globalMap.put("tFileExist_1_EXISTS", true);
                    }

so boolean value exist for my  "if ...else" solution , isnt' it ?

nevermind , i'm going to test your solution bcourtine ...

Hello

ps.odt doesn't exist !!)

As you said, the file doesn't exist, so the tFileList will not pass the file path of ps.odt to tFileExist, that means tFileExist don't check this file.

Best regards
