I have a folder that contains various zipped shapefiles that I am trying to export to a geodatabase. This folder is updated regularly and the shapefiles are points, lines and polygons. How can I read in and then export them to the geodatabase without needing to worry about the geometry type? I have looked into generic readers and writers but I have not been able to figure how to get them to work.

Hi
I can suggest using an AttributeExposer after the reader to expose the geometry attribute, a TestFilter to filter by geometry type and then having a separate geodatabase writer for each geometry type.
