Accessing the file dynamically in File Reader/Multi File Reader Snap

Hi,

Need to access the file which is having datetime and Seq number(YYYYMMDD_HH24MISS_SeqNo)(20180810_181605_01) appended to file name. Need to access all files with same name in sequential manner. Can anyone please suggest me on this?

Thanks,
Gopi B.

    You might want to start the pipeline with a DirectoryBrowser snap to get the list of files that you are interested in. You can follow that snap with Filter and/or Sort snaps to prune the list and sort it. Once you have a series of documents with the desired paths, you can feed that into a FileReader snap.
