| Hi All,By using For Each File Container , how can we loop through only the .txt and .csv files in a folder.We can specify the below things in "Files" property of "Collection" tab in "Foreach Loop Editor".For all types of files = *.* For only txt file = *.txtFor only csv files = *.csvBut my concern is to specify both .txt and .csv files ( don't want to traverse through any other file types except .csv and /txt) --Chandu |

for that you can do in two steps. For ForEachLoop set type as *.*. Add a boolean variable (IsValidFile) to ssis package. Add a script task inside the loop and pass variable in readwrite mode and the filename variable used inside ForEachLoop as ReadOnly. then inside script add a code as belowDts.Variables("IsValidFile").Value = IIF(InStr(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value,".csv") > 0 Or InStr(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value,".txt") > 0,True,False)Then link Script task to your subsequent tasks inside the loop, Set precedence constraint option as Expression And Constraint. Set Constraint as OnSucess and Expression as below@IsValidFile == True and it will work fine processing only txt and csv files------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |

| Thanks for the detailed explanation...Can we do this without using Script Task inside ForEachLoop?--Chandu |
