Hi

I have a for each loop in a ssis package that read in about 500 files each week. What i'd like to know is there any way i can count the number of file that the for each loops reads in. Also am not to sure if this is correct but if a file is zero bytes does it be ingorned ?

ForEach Loop File Enumeration will count even it's zero bytes. Use Script Task to determine if file with zero bytes to either ignore or not. You can create a variable to hold the count as it loops around.

yup you can. just use a variable to hold count and increment it inside foreach loop using script task.for igonre zero bytes files you can get size of file inside script task using file system object.
