Load all txt files from one folder

Newbie here, what am I doing wrong please? My data is not loading. I assume it's something very basic in the syntax.

Either \*.txt or /*.txt do not throw errors, there is just no data loaded

if you put  the whole path that you get when you select a single file with the button in FIleList

ex.

FileList('[lib://.....\*.txt]')

it's not working?

 

 

 

And replace the file name with *.txt

So I have added the path from the script when selecting from the button and have also added the parameters from that script. Now I am getting connector error

Just to share the knowledge, I figured it out .... This works - I had to remove /*.txt in the path (where yellow marker is):
