Is it possible to use WireReady to automatically pull a file from an FTP site and play it during a break?

Q: Is it possible to use WireReady to automatically pull a file from an FTP site and play it during a break?

A: Yes if the names are predictable, there is a command in WireReady that can FTP transfer specific files (wildcards supported).

There is a CHECK command that's like an IF command that can be setup with other commands to warn you (closure or email/txt) if a file is missing/old or too short.

Of course if the name is known, you can have a play command to do that.
The play command also supports macros with the month and day of the month (names with numeric date suffixes/prefixes).

The CHECK command is especially handy, because if when it's time to play you do,

CHECK FILE X (else goto)
PLAY FILE X
Goto next line (2 lines down)
PLAY FILE Y
and what happens is if the expected file doesn't look right, you play file Y instead of file X.
