contents Filament G37 exhibits a distinctive "caterpillar" shape, characterized by two semicircular structures within its 40\,pc-long body, providing an ideal target to investigate the formation and evolution of filaments. By analyzing multiple observational data, such as CO spectral line, the H$α$\,RRL, and multi-wavelength continuum, we find that the expanding H\,{\scriptsize II} regions surrounding filament G37 exert pressure on the structure of the filament body, which kinetic process present as the gas flows in multiple directions along its skeleton. The curved magnetic field structure of filament G37 derived by employing the Velocity Gradient Technique with CO is found to be parallel to the filament body and keeps against the pressure from expanded H\,{\scriptsize II} regions. The multi-directional flows in the filament G37 could cause the accumulation and subsequent collapse of gas, resulting in the formation of massive clumps. The curved structure and star formation observed in filament G37 are likely a result of the filament body being squeezed by the expanding H\,{\scriptsize II} region. This physical process occurs over a timescale of approximately 5\,Myr. The filament G37 provides a potential candidate for end-dominated collapse.
