Hi,
It is possible to set dynamic path.
For your scenario, you can use tContextLoad or explicit tContext to load your multiple filename and give a Context value in filename/stream of tFileInputPositional.
Please take a look at my screenshots and online component reference TalendHelpCenter:tContextLoad
Best regards

Hi Dipens,
I Assume this is what you are looking for - https://help.talend.com/search/all?query=tFileList&content-lang=en
Use tFileList-->tFileInputPositional--> DatabaseOutput
- in tFileInputPositional - use tFileListCurrentFilePath for Filename
- use appropriate filter if any...
After executing the job, you would iterate on each file based on standard metadata and see the output of each file.
Thanks
