Loop for Multi List files with reference

[Gambit]

Hi Guys,

I just want to ask if you have any idea on how to loop multi files in a folder or storage. The condition is this: In a folder, I have multiple pairs of files. It was like f1_a and f1_b, f2_a and f2_b…etc. I used the List file node first to exract the location and URL and created a reference tag derived from the name of the files. it was like for f1_a and f1_b, I used f1 as reference, same as the other files. I am doing this because f1_a and f1_b will be combined to create the required output.

Thanks in advance.

I would filter the list by your A and B files and join them by file name after renaming them to something like name_a and name_b. Then use the

Table Row To Variable Loop Start

To do the thing with the files. If you need more information about the file from the URL you could extract them.

URL to File Path

Hi there @Gambit,

if I got you right you already have an identifier for every pair of files you want to process together - in same loop iteration. If that is the case you can try Group Loop Start node, turn location/URL to flow variable and each flow variable pass to one reader node. From there you will be able to combine 2 files into one output hopefully
