sql server dts: Hi all!
I have a package that imports data from a text file, located in an specific
folder.
My problem is that many files can be inside the folder and their names are
unknown for me. How can I find out the name and quantity of files within the
folder, and use these informations into a dynamic task to start the import
process?
Thank you all in advance!
Eduardo

You can install Perl package and do it by perl script. By perl you can check
the file names and quantity and rename the file names to meet your DTS
package needs. Then you can invoke the dtsrun by system("dtsrun ....") from
the perl script.
