Issue with Dynamic Input Tool - Error message: No file specified in zip archive

Question

Hi All,

I am having an issue trying to dynamically read a zip file from a folder location using the Dynamic Input Tool. The strange thing is I can open the file with no issues when I use the Input Data tool, all the settings are the same and I can't figure out why the dynamic input will not allow me to open the file.

Note: the zip file gz extension and inside it is a dat file which is tab separated.

Thanks,

Simon
