Looping through sub fields

i have 3 subfolders in a directory path

C\test

in test there are folder1-prj,folder2-prj,folder3-prj

now i want to loop through these folders and run the following script

EXPRESSIONDATA:

Load

%Key_Data_7EB7522AE0A7D03B

as

ExpressionID,FilePath() as NameID

,

[ExpressionVisual/Label/v]

as

ExpressionName

,

[ExpressionData/Definition/v]

as

ExpressionCalc

,

[ExpressionVisual/Label/v]

&': ' &[ExpressionData/Definition/v]

as

Expression

,

REPLACE

(REPLACE

('$(File)','$(SubDirectory)',''),'.xml','') as

ObjectID

FROM

[$(File)] (XmlSimple

, Table

is

[GraphProperties/Expressions/ArrayOfMainExpressionData/MainExpressionData/Data]);

CHARTDATA:

Load

[ChartProperties/Title/Title/v]

as

ChartTitle

,

[Dimensions/ChartDimensionDataDef/PseudoDef/Name]

as

DimensionCalc

,

[TableProperties/ExpansionInfo/ExpansionData/Pos/DimName]

as

DimensionName

,

REPLACE

(REPLACE

('$(File)','$(SubDirectory)',''),'.xml','') as

ObjectID

FROM

[$(File)] (XmlSimple

, Table

is

[GraphProperties]);

next

left

join

(CHARTDATA) load

ObjectID

,replace

(ObjectID

, 'CH','') as

CHTID

, concat

(distinct

DimensionCalc

) as

DimensionsConcat

REsident

CHARTDATA group

by

ObjectID

;

left

join

(EXPRESSIONDATA) load

ObjectID

,

concat

(distinct

Expression

,'

' ) as

ExpressionsConcat

REsident

EXPRESSIONDATA group

by

ObjectID

;

if i run it in one of the subfolders it works well but i want to be able to loop through all the subfolders

You can find code to (recursively) loop through subdirectories here: loop through to load all files from a folder and its subfolders? You will want to replace the load code from the example with your code.

not sure what your problem is.

Why don't you use a for next statement to loop through all sub folders?
