Whenever I do date stuff like that, I tend to put it into universal format first (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) and then just map it directly to the destination column - no...

Try using double quotes " instead of single in your expression.

Yes exactly. Once you have that, you're in business.

Even if you just use Row_Number() to generate one on the fly ... (if you're not too fussy about which rows end...

If you have two data sets

Set 1

1, 2

3, 4

Set 2

a, b

c, d

and you want to combine them to give something like

1, 2, a, b

3, 4, c, d

you need to...

Or ...

Instead of using the tables as your sources, use a query which includes the join. Then your data source is ready to go - this will be faster than...

Feed the two sources into a Merge Join transformation and from there map to your destination table (I'm assuming that the two source tables can be joined, of course).

Hi Steve

It's easy - take a look here.

In that case, either an IIF statement or REGEX should help. (Google regex or IIF in ssis for details.)

You'd basically use a script component after your data...

Finally we are getting somewhere, I think.

For this task, forget the FST. You can delete the entire dataflow actually.

Just configure an Execute Process task on the Control Flow pane to...

I am afraid that you have not answered my question. Until you can tell me why you cannot use

I am not going to post further.

Yes - maybe I'm over complicating things. If I use the wildcard method for the Source folder, how do I loop through to different destinations. Do I still...

I must be missing something. Why not use the wildcard option? Then you don't need to know the file names.

the SourceFolder variable will be the same, but there may be more than one text file in there - so I need to iterate over these files (one...

So do these variables merely contain folder paths and you want your task to loop round all files in <source_folder> and move them to <destination_folder>?

Or do the values of the...
