I am receiving multiple text files, each having one of five different layouts to be loaded into separate tables (e.g. invoice detail, invoice header, summary,...) Each file is "|" delimited, and has column names in the first row; I cannot tell which file it is before reading the first records.

Looks like I need to use ForEach to process all the files found in a directory once a day, but how do I do the conditional processing to have different input processes bases on the first line of data?

Thanks
Geordie

i think you need a script task for checking first row data from files and then process accordingly
