    I have a SSIS 2005 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

    The are no problems, only solutions. --John Lennon

    This solution might help you on what you need.

    Another quick option would be to use one ForEach Loop for each extension (more work, but easier).

    Easiest option is to add a FileSystemTask for each file type you need to process.

    and if you drop them both into a sequence container within the For Each Folder loop then you can process them in parallel
