Question

Use of a wildcard in Feature Type to read parameter (single merged feature type)

Is it possible to use a wildcard to select the Feature Type to read when single merged feature type option is checked.

 

 

I would like to be able to choose what table to read without genereating the list of tables merged in the reader because it takes too much time.

 

 

I would like to simply type something like: *711.SHP to select all tables that finish with 711.SHP

 

 

It seems it is not possible. Any other solution?

Hi,

 

 

As you say, it seems not to be possible to use a wildcard in selecting Feature Types to Read. But you can use a wildcard in Source Dataset parameter setting. For the SHAPE format, file name is same as feature type name. Could it be a workaround?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
