Ok, figured this out. Being back in an Australian office on Monday morning, I think everyone else in the world is spending their Sunday.

I concatenated the filepaths separated by comma (using Notepad++ program) to make it appear as follows

filepath1, filepath2, filepath3, filepath4

copied this string into Source files box.

I wanted to just read one feature per file and that is enough for me to read the projection information.

Used CoordinateSystemExtractor to extract the _coordsys attribiute.

Written the FileName, Path and _coordsys attributes back to Excel.

Job done.

I wish I could devote more time learning FME's powerful features to make my life easier.

Thanks,

Thiru

You can create a dynamic reader (click the icon with the plus sign) on the top folder G:\\ for *Tab files (including any filters you'd needed).

Then in the Navigator panel go to your reader's Parameters=>Advanced=>Features to read yo

Set the "Max features to read per featuretype" = 1
