Utility File Management: Get Files Patterns CSV input

TaronWright1
Level 2

For the Patterns CSV input, is there any way to specify something along the lines of all files except xlsx.

I want to read all files from a folder that are not excel files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably best to get all files then apply a filter to the collection to exclude file type xlsx. The collection you're left with will be 'all files that are not excel'

Hi Taron,
Use this action to read files from a specified folder, specify the folder path, I don't remember if there is an option to filter, if yes, use and do not need the decision stage or use and in the decision stage validate the extension.
 
Use a loop to cycle through the list of files retrieved from the folder.
 
Read the current file
 
"Decision" stage to decide whether to process or not based on name, use *.xlsx pattern to delete Excel files.
