For Loop to store all related files

[#1]

Hi. I am trying to run this statement for all the .txt files available in the directory. I tried using a For loop but it only picked up the 1st .txt file available in the directory. Appreciate help from you guys out there...

for each Ext in 'txt'
for each FileName in ('$(sPathResources)'&'\*.' &Ext)
File:
LOAD *
FROM [$(FileName)]
(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is spaces);

STORE File INTO $(FileName).qvd (qvd);
DROP Table File;
NEXT FileName
NEXT Ext

p/s: sPathResources = path where files are stored.

Hi erin wan,

Try to use this code

for each File in FileList('$(sPathResources)\*.txt')

          File:

          LOAD *, FileBaseName() as FileName

          FROM [$(File)]

          (txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is spaces);

          let vFileName = FieldValue('FileName', 1);

          drop field FileName;

          STORE File INTO $(sPathResources)\$(vFileName).qvd (qvd);

          DROP Table File;

NEXT File

You are missing the FileList keyword.

for each FileName in FileList('$(sPathResources)'&'\*.' & Ext)
