[resolved] tFileInputJSON | multiple input files?

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:54:19 GMT

Hi folks,
This seems like a silly, newbie question but I can't seem to get it to work or find anything about how to do this.
All I want to do is to use the tFileInputJSON component to read in multiple json files, using a *.json when entering the filename in the component settings. However, when it runs, it evaluates that literally and I get an error saying it can't find a "*.json" filename.
Any help, please? Thanks!
Chris

you have to use another component tFileList which will give you list of files then you can process then one by one.

tFileList---iterator--tFileInputJson---youroutput

in basic setting of tFileList add file mask "*.json" with other required details then you will get some global variables which will have file name with path use that variable in tFileinputJson component.

Thank you so much! I knew it had to be something easy (and not obvious)
