Moving multiple files to archive folder SSIS 2005

  • I have a SSIS package that moves .xls files from one directory to and archive folder. This works perfect, but I now need to include .txt files to this package. I cannot simply use the *.* experssion, as there will be other file formats that should not be archived. I am having issues with this. Any help would be appreciated.

    In the Collection properties of the Loop editor I have tried the following...

    *.xls|*.txt

    *.xls*,*.txt*

    *.xls,.txt

  • Can you just have two loops in series? As it's looping one file at a time, there's no real performance hit.

    Or (more efficiently) use instead a script task with just a few lines of code – no need for any loops.

  • Thank you for your advice. I will go with the second loop as there is no performance hit. Plus I will only have to archive around 30 - 40 files so it should be fast.

    Much appreciated 😀
