Hi, I am trying to read some data that is stored in several subfolders in the FME share resource data folder. It seems like the process didn't like the wild card ie.. Data\\foldername\\**\\*.csv

Any pointers/ work arounds?

Thank you in advanced for any help you can provide.

Hi @gerry,

 

Have you tried using forward slashes? The Directory and File Pathnames Reader Parameters documentation suggests to use forward slashes (/) as separators, as they do not conflict with either glob escape characters or UNC path names. Single backward slashes (\\), for example C:\\data\\*.dgn, may be treated as escape characters, leading to incorrect interpretations.

Please take a look at the section Common Path Filter Issues for troubleshooting assistance.

 

Hope this helps!
