My .Net colleague helped me to create a File Enumerator where I replaced the standard wildcard filter by a regular expression filter. And we also added a sorting possibility.

This Regex File Enumerator also alows you to select multiple extensions like *.xls + *.csv:
^.*\.(xls|csv)$

Downloads:
You can download a SSIS 2008 version on the download page. All my custom 2012 enumerators have an optional regex filter included.
Installation
The installer registers the DLL in the GAC and copies it to the ForEachEnumerators folder of SSIS (example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\ForEachEnumerators\). After that you have to close Visual Studio/BIDS because it caches the GAC on startup.
SSIS
The enumerator is automatically added to the Foreach Loop when you open a SSIS project.

Bugs or feature suggestions
Please contact me or leave a comment if you have any suggestions or found a bug in this Custom Enumerator.
This is a very good start and a great piece to add to SSIS! It easily replaces the in-the-box file enumerator.
ReplyDeleteDoes this work with SSIS 2005?
ReplyDeleteNo sorry, 2005 is not supported, but you can accomplish the same with a simple Script Task.
