N number of directories inputs

[danial_j]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is way to import multiple directories. For example I have a project called project A and it has sub directories with further projects as project A1, A2 and so on. The number of subdirectories always change i.e. there could be only project A1 and sometimes A1...An. Now if I use a directory tool I can browse in only one directory and since number of projects changes, I do not know how many directory tools I would need. On top of that I cannot use folder browse tool because it is not supported on alteryx server.

Does anyone know how this could be achieved? Your ideas will be highly appreciated

The Directory Tool does allow you to search subdirectories,

Is that what you mean?

Hi @danial_j 

There is workaround for Folder Browse Iterative Tool but not an exact solution.

For that you might have to reference a file using file browse tool and take path from it.

@PhilipMannering, Ah that is great, didn't know that there is that simple

Hi @atcodedog05, thank you for your response, I guess I might need this work around quite frequently
