The following scenario describes a Job that iterates on a list of files, picks up the
filename and current date and transforms this into a flow, that gets displayed on the
console.

• Drop the following components: tFileList,
  tIterateToFlow and tLogRow from the Palette to the
  design workspace.

• Connect the tFileList to the tIterateToFlow using an iterate link and connect the Job to the tLogRow using a Row main
  connection.

• In the tFileList
  Component view, set the directory where the
  list of files is stored.

• In this example, the files are three simple .txt files held in one directory:
  Countries.

• No need to care about the case, hence clear the Case
  sensitive check box.

• Leave the Include Subdirectories check box
  unchecked.

• Then select the tIterateToFlow component et
  click Edit Schema to set the new schema

• Add two new columns: Filename of String type and Date of date type. Make sure you define the correct pattern
  in Java.

• Click OK to validate.

• Notice that the newly created schema shows on the Mapping table.

• In each cell of the Value field, press
  Ctrl+Space bar to access the list of global
  and user-specific variables.

• For the Filename column, use the global variable:
  tFileList_1CURRENT_FILEPATH. It retrieves the current filepath
  in order to catch the name of each file, the Job iterates on.

• For the Date column, use the Talend routine:
TalendDate.getCurrentDate() (in
  Java)

• Then on the tLogRow component view, select
  the Print values in cells of a table check
  box.

• Save your Job and press F6 to execute
  it.

The filepath displays on the Filename column and the current date
displays on the Date column.
