Hello,

 

 

I have a bunch of mapinfo line.tab files that I want to merge together.  Each .tab file is in a seperate sub directory e.g.

 

 

/test/one/line.tab

 

/test/two/line.tab

 

/test/three/line.tab

 

 

I want to add a 'dir' text column to each layer before merging that is populated with the files sub directory name e.g.

 

 

line.tab layer in the one directory will have a new column added 'dir' and be populated with value 'one'

 

 

line.tab layer in the two directory will have a new column added 'dir' and be populated with value  'two'

 

 

...etc

 

 

I see that hte AttributeCreator transformer can populate data columns, however I'm unsure how to get the data in the format as stated above.

 

 

thank you
Hi,

 

expose the fme_dataset and use the FilenamePartExtractor.

 

Hope this helps
Hi,

 

 

look at the FilenamePartExtractor, it should help you along.
