Directory and File Pathnames - multiple file extensions? | Community

Is it possible to search for multiple file extensions in the one directory and file pathnames reader simultaneously?

Path Filter:

* - returns all files

*.dgn - returns all dgn files

*.dgn,*.shp - returns 0 results

Can someone please help me with the correct syntax for multiple file extensions in Path Filter?

Try the following

*.{dgn,shp}

Make sure there are no spaces inside the braces.

Thanks @david_r. Saved my precious time, as I didn't go through your document properly.
