Loop over folders in a folder
hello, i want to create an SSIS package which will let me pull data from a specific folder X. Now , folder X has several sub-folders, say 1, 2, 3, etc. Their names can change each time. and these folders in turn have several csv files. I want to pull data from these csv files. I know that we can loop over files in a folder using the for each task. Can this task be used for a problem like mine? I am thinking of something like outer for each ( for folders) and inner for each ( for files). But can u loop over folder names for the outer for each? I know that we have foreach file enumarator for files, do we have something for folders? Thanks Charu
