 How To Create a Group From the Files In a Directory

FlightPath manages csvpath statements in files and groups. Multiple csvpath statements can live in a file. All of the statements in the file will be a part of the same group. A named-paths group can be created from multiple files. The easiest way to do that is to load all the files in a directory as one group.

Templates are used to register files at a specific path within a named-file. This allows the structure of the named-file to follow the path structure of the arriving files and/or be laid out to match another system. You can learn more about templates on https://www.csvpath.org.

How to do it

• Navigate to your project’s examples/schemas folder
• Right-click the directory in the project files tree on the left
• Select Load csvpaths

• The Load Csvpaths Dialog opens
• Enter the name schemas to the Named-paths name field

• Click Create or Overwrite. The button text will change depending on if the name of the group is new.
• Look in the named-paths groups window at the middle right. Notice there is now a schemas group.
• Open the schemas named-paths group and you see a group.csvpaths file that contains all the csvpath statements in the group
