How to retrieve the data as different dynamic inputs based on path in text file

Could anyone help?

 

One my workflow generates a text file containing multiple csv files' path information. How could I retrieve the data by different path information?  How to convert them as different dynamic inputs for other operations?

One of the options available I'm the dynamic input tool is the ability to change the input path based on a field.

 

Once you have this set-up traditionally you are going to use one dynamic input (If the schema for the files is the same), if it is not, then to split the paths into seperate streams in this case you could use the sample tool to select the top 1 prior to the first dynamic input and bottom 1 prior to the 2nd dynamic input.

Hi,

 

If you are having the same schema of both input files then you can use single dynamic input tool and configure the tool in below manner.
