Specifying multiple filenames as a source parameter in a Workspace Runner

I currently have a workspace that determines a file location, and then a workspace runner uses this as the source parameter for the 'child' workspace.

If I run the child workbench in isolation, I can specify multiple file locations and both source files are read.

e.g.

"D:\\Folder1\\File1.gz","D:\\Folder2\\File2.gz"

But if I try to use this as a parameter for the workspace runner, no output is read.

Is there a different syntax I should be using within the workspace runner?

Hi @egomm, try this syntax - separate the quoted paths with whitespace and surround the entire string with double quotations.

""D:\Folder1\File1.gz" "D:\Folder2\File2.gz""

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
