Hi,

I have a foreach loop container in my package. The loop must go through files in a folder -the files can be of any type.
I need to retrieve just the file's extension and send that value to the database.

In the loop container i saw that you have the option of retrieving either the name only, name and extension or fully qualified. I want to get just the extension. How is this possible?

Thanks

use a derived column task and get only the extension from filename using substring.
