Hi everyone, I know how to read just 1 text file and use StringSearcher to extract string from the content. But how do I read "multiple" text files "automatically" and extract specific string from the content in each one of them?
Thanks in advance

Multiple ways to do this.
My preferred method is to use a FeatureReader (Directory and File Pathnames) to find the files I need followed by another FeatureReader (Text File), using the path_windows attribute to read the selected files.
As an alternative you can add a classic Text File reader and choose for the "Select Multiple Folders/Files..." option from the Dataset options.
Thanks for that. FeatureReader works for me. Now I am able to read thousands of txt files by using FeatureReader 👍 Much appreciated!
