Hi @RSreeSurya   : Could you please share any sample workflow on how to use dynamic input tool for above explanation ?

Hi @Jaganmohan ,

you can read list of files present in the directory and filter out for the files which are not available. Post filtering you can read the data in the files which exist in the path.
