Mapping Multiple Input Files to a Single Output File
To process multiple input files, do one of the following:
•Enter a file path with wildcards (* or ?) as input file in the Component Settings dialog box. All matching files will be processed. The example below uses the * wildcard character in the Input XML file field to supply as mapping input all files whose name begins with "Nanonull-". Multiple input files are being merged into a single output file because there is no dynamic connector to the target component, while the source component accesses multiple files using the wildcard *. Notice that the name of the root node in the target component is File: <default>, indicating that no output file path has been defined in the Component Settings dialog box. The multiple source files are thus appended in the target document.

•Map a sequence of strings to the File node of the source component. Each string in the sequence represents one file name. The strings may also contain wildcards, which are automatically resolved. A sequence of file names can be supplied by components such as an XML file , database text fields.
