Directory Tool

[Data_User88]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help. I have a directory input tool pointed at the temp files folder on my C drive. 

If I use the Directory tool outside of the workflow (i.e. on a new canvas) it works properly. However when inserted into the workflow it does something peculiar. See image two for reference.  You can see when looking at the browse tool profile pane it correctly lists all of the files in the temp folder. In contrast the output stream returns nil files. Does anyone know why this could be and what can be done to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Data_User88, from the looks of your results pane, it looks like you're currently looking at the metadata tab, which shows information about the fields themselves. If you hit 'Data' here - does that bring back what you're expecting?
