Read Multiple Tab Delimited files from Multiple directories

[George_Fischetti]

Hi Folks, I'm attempting to use the Dynamic Input tool for the first time and having some difficulty configuring the pattern I should use.

This is the format of my folders (there are all 12 months and more files but I included just these for illustration):

• Notepad Files
  • 2021
    • April
    • August
    • Feb
    • Jan
      • file1.txt
      • file2.txt
      • file3.txt

I know I can copy all these files to a single directory but I'm trying to avoid that so that I learn to use this tool as this issue will come up again.  Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks, George

Hi @George_Fischetti ,

If you provide some examples we can help.

If you're just looking to pull them all in, use the Directory tool, go to the parent folder and check the box to use sub-folders.
