Hello,

 

I have one folder with multiple sub folders that contains multiple shp.

 

I need to read in all shp with specific name from all sub folders.

Is this possible in FME?

 

Structure is something like this:

Folder

-SUB Folder1

-1.shp

-2.shp

-SUB Folder 2

-1.shp

-2.shp

 

Example, I need to read all 1.shp together.

Assuming the shape files have the same structure, you can use wildcards in the source parameter to read every shp file in a folder named 1.shp

 

e.g. D:\\Folder\\**\\1.shp
