Foreach loop help

I am trying to create a foreach loop that takes all txt files in Program Files and print only the names of files over 10KB.
This is what I got:
foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem -Path "c:\Program Files" -recurse -Include *.txt |
Select-Object FullName ))
if($file.size -gt 10KB)
Write-Host $file
I've been testing around with this for a bit now and doing some Googling to no avail, it'll work if I don't try to sort it by size and ask it just to print the name of all text files in Program Files. Any nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Let me be more explicit. Whatou posted is not a loop.
Always start with HELP when you are learning. Ask your teacher to explain to you how to use HELP.
help foreach.
A ForEach loop cannot solve your issue here. You need to filter the results of a recursive search. In PowerShell this is almost never done with a loop. If your teacher tries to tell you otherwise you need to fire the teacher or take your money to a different
school.
Of course it may be more likly that you just didn't pay attention in class and are now asking us to do your homework for you.
Sorry. We don't do homework for children. This is a site for technicians who use scripting professionally. If you want to be a professional you need to do your homework No cheating. We are watching.

Help -- How do I exit a Foreach Loop

I have a foreach loop that is processing files in a directory. One of the tasks is the execute sql task that calls a stored proc. If this stored proc returns a certain value then I need to exit the loop and not process any more files. But I have been unable to figure out how to make this happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

have you considered using the script task instead?

Help with forEach loop

I have a JSTL forEach loop similar to below:
<c:forEach var="product" items="${sessionScope.products}">
     <tr><td>${product.description}</td></tr>
</c:forEach>I would like to use a static class to format the description. Something like below, but I know I cannot do it this way. How can I accomplish this?
<tr><td>${ProductFormatter.getHtmlDescription(product)}</td></tr>thanks

The least change approach. If you have already have a static function to do this, then a function tag would be appropriate.
The function tag basically lets you call a static function from EL.
custom.tld
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<taglib xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee web-
        jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.1"
>
     <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
     <short-name>my</short-name>
     <uri>http://www.mytags.com/</uri>
     <function>
          <name>productFormatter</name>
          <function-class>com.mypackage.ProductFormatter</function-class>
          <function-signature>java.lang.String getHtmlDescription(com.mypackage.Product)</function-signature>
     </function>
</taglib>If you include that tld in your WEB-INF directory, then the following in a JSP should work:
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.mytags.com/" prefix="my"%>
<c:forEach var="product" items="${sessionScope.products}">
     <tr><td>${my:productFormatter(product)}</td></tr>
</c:forEach>Rather than putting the code in a static function, you might be better off encoding the logic into a custom tag. It depends on what your formatting function is like.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.

[Forum FAQ] How to calculate the total count of insert rows within a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

Introduction
We need to loop through all the flat files that have the same structure in a folder and import all the data to a single SQL Server table. How can we obtain the total count of the rows inserted to the destination SQL Server table?
Solution
We can use Execute SQL Task or Script Task to aggregate the row count increment for each iteration of the Foreach Loop Container. The following steps are the preparations before we add the Execute SQL Task or Script Task:
Create a String type variable FilePath, two Int32 type variables InsertRowCnt and TotalRowCnt.
Drag a Foreach Loop Container to the Control Flow design surface, set the Enumerator to “Foreach File Enumerator”, specify the source folder and the files extension, and set the “Retrieve file name” option to “Fully qualified”.
On the “Variable Mappings” tab of the container, map the variable FilePath to the collection value.
Drag a Data Flow Task to the container, in the Data Flow Task, add a Flat File Source, a Row Count Transformation, and an OLE DB Destination, and join them. Create a Flat File Connection Manager to connect to one of the flat files, and then configure the
Flat File Source as well as the OLE DB Destination adapter. Set the variable for the Row Count Transformation to “User::InsertRowCnt”.
Open the Property Expressions Editor for the Flat File Connection Manager, and set the expression of “ConnectionString” property to
“@[User::FilePath]”.
(I) Execute SQL Task Method:
In the Control Flow, drag an Execute SQL Task under the Data Flow Task and join them.
Create one or using any one existing OLE DB Connection Manager for the Execute SQL Task, set the “ResultSet” option to “Single row”, and then set the “SQLStatement” property to:
DECLARE @InsertRowCnt INT,
               @TotalRowCnt INT
SET @InsertRowCnt=?
SET @TotalRowCnt=?
SET @TotalRowCnt=@InsertRowCnt+@TotalRowCnt
SELECT TotalRowCnt=@TotalRowCnt
On to parameter 1.
On the “Result Set” tab of the Execute SQL Task, map result 0 to variable “User::TotalRowCnt”.
(II) Script Task Method:
In the Control Flow, drag a Script Task under the Data Flow Task and join them.
In the Script Task, select variable InsertRowCnt for “ReadOnlyVariables” option, and select variable TotalRowCnt for “ReadWriteVariables”.
Edit the Main method as follows (C#):
public void Main()
// TODO: Add your code here
int InsertRowCnt = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::InsertRowCnt"].Value.ToString()
int TotalRowCnt = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::TotalRowCnt"].Value.ToString());
TotalRowCnt = TotalRowCnt + InsertRowCnt;
Dts.Variables["User::InsertRowCnt"].Value = TotalRowCnt;
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
          Or (VB)
          Public Sub Main()
        ' Add your code here
        Dim InsertRowCnt As Integer =
        Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables("User::InsertRowCnt").Value.ToString())
        Dim TotalRowCnt As Integer =
        Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables("User::TotalRowCnt").Value.ToString())
        TotalRowCnt = TotalRowCnt + InsertRowCnt
        Dts.Variables("User::TotalRowCnt").Value = TotalRowCnt
        Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
       End Sub

SSIS Variable Expression not Picking Up the value dynamically set from a Foreach Loop container

Hello, everyone,
I have three variables in my SSIS package:
1) ReportLoc that holds a file path (c:\test, not changed)
2) ReportFileName that holds a file name that get assigned in a Foreach Loop container (file1, file2, etc.)
3) OutputFilePath that is the full file pathname, set in the expression: @[User::LocalPath] + "\\" + @[User::ReportFileName]
All three variable have the package scope.
I expect OutputFilePath will be asigned values like c:\test\file1, c:\test\file2, etc.
However, it alwasy remains an empty string.
Anything I did wrong? Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
Regards

That's it -- I forgot to set Evaluate as Expression to true.
Thank you very much for your reply and solution! Really appreciate it!
Regards.

Excel Source cannot find sheet when using Foreach Loop Container

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I need help with Foreach Loop container.
1) I have C:\\Excel\ folder and multiple Excel.xlsx files are stored there to be imported
2) I have Foreach Loop Container
-Foreach File Enumerator is selected
-Expressions are empty
-Folder is set as C:\\Excel\
-Files is *.*
-Variable is created. User::Filename, 0
2) I have created variable FileName, String,0
3) I have Excel Connection Manager
-ExcelFilePath = @[User::FileName]
4) I have data flow task with Excel Source and OLE DB Destination
Error occured with Execute:
[Excel Source [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[Excel Source [2]] Error: Opening a rowset for "SheetName$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
The issue occurs because you have not specified a valid value for the variable @FileName. The error persists even if we set the “DelayValidation” property of the Excel Connection Manager to True. After you assign a value like “C:\Excel\Test1.xlsx” (without
quotes) to the variable, the package should work fine.

Yet another Try Catch question. Iterating through a ForEach loop

Confused on error handling in a Powershell ForEach loop. I’m looping through a list of registry keys, attempting
to open each one. If it succeeds, I do a bunch of stuff. If it fails, I want to skip to the next iteration.
If I was doing It in VBScript I’d do this:
For Each Thing In colThings
Open Thing
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
“oops”
Else
Do stuff
Do stuff
Do stuff
End If
Next
This is what I came up with in PowerShell. It seems to work, but just doesn’t seem powershell-ish. There must be a better way to use the catch output than just creating a $return variable and assigning it success or fail?
ForEach ($subKeyName in $subKeyNames)
try{$subKey = $baseKey.OpenSubKey("$subKeyName")}
catch{$return = "error" }
If($return -eq "error" )
“Oops”
Else
Do stuff
Do stuff
Do Stuff

I totally get what you're saying about formatting. I don't' have any habits yet, since I've only been working in Powershell since... well, what time is it now?
Unfortunately, It Has Been Decreed that we are no longer to use VBScript for any engineering solutions at work, so my 15 years experience in it now needs to be transitioned over asap. I don't have the luxury of crawling before I run. I'm trying not to be
frustrated, but it's like an English major waking up one day and being told "You must now speak French exclusively. Here's a book."
The Do Stuff example of my ForEach loop is about 50 lines of code involving matching values in subkeys of this registry key with another and collecting output. I tried wrapping the whole thing in a try section based on some examples, but it seemed odd, that's
why I'm asking. I'm used to tightly focused error handling at the point where an error may occur.
In this example I'm only interested in whether or not I can open the subkey (it exists, but I may not have permission). If I can't, there's no point in continuing with this iteration of the loop, I want to skip to the next one. So why include all the "Do
Stuff" in the the try section? From a readability viewpoint, it doesn't seem helpful.
Also, there may be more error handling deeper in the code. If I then put that in a try/catch, and then something else inside that, now I have nested try/catches mixed in with nested if/elses, all wrapped in a For loop.
Again, I can see how it works logically, but for readability not so much, and having all these braces 50 lines apart to match up is giving me eye strain :).
It sounds like David is agreeing with jrv, that putting the entire ForEach loop code into a try/catch is the conventional way to do it. I guess it makes as much sense as putting it all in an If-else-Endif, and I just need to adjust my paradigm.
But if not, my specific question was more along the lines of, is there a built in way to tell that the catch section has been executed, rather than me using it to populate an arbitrary variable and then read it? In VBScript, you execute something, and the
next line, you check the Err.number. I wasn't sure if you could do that with a try/catch.

SSIS Package to load multiple excel sheets using foreach loop container

I am creating a SSIS package which is accessing an excel file and then using a Foreach loop container to load each tab to sql server. However when I try to configure the Excel source, I get the following message
"The argument system_comobject cannot be converted into parameter type. Additional Information - Object must implement iconvertible (mscorlib)"
Any help to resolve would be much appreciated.
thanks
Scott

If the title is only using column D and the rest of the columns are empty on sheet1/row1
AND
if only sheet1 as headers,
THEN you can try something like the following
do NOT select row 1 as header or anything.
In your foreachloop > dataflow, you will start with EXCEL connection then Conditional Split inside which you will define one case for which expression should be like If column D has value like "Title expression" && Column A == "Column A Header
name" THEN yay or nay. You might want to look into
FINDSTRING function to assist with this (if you choose to use FINDSTRING, you are looking for !isNull for this case..If it finds the string you are looking for, it will pass an int value (title + header) if it doesn't find the string, it will pass
NULL (data)) or you can say If Column A, B, C,E,F,G...is NULL and D is NOT NULL && Column A = Column A Header string, then Case 1 else default.
The default output would be the real data.
So when sheet 1 is processing, you will have Case 1 output with 2 rows (title + header) and Default output with the rest of the rows (real data).
For other sheets, you will have Case 1 output with 0 rows (no title + header) and Default output with the data rows.
The above sln assumes that the data in each sheet is similar in datatypes and length perspective, you have defined input/output datatypes properly, and etc.

Dynamically specify folder files for Foreach File Enumerator in Foreach Loop Container and load into destination

hi,
I need to load data into tables before loading data I have several folders like a1, a2,a3... each folder 'll contain a several .csv files. I need to load those csv files data into destination based on folder wise
Thanks
AVS

you can use foreachloop for that. It has an option called recursive. So just point it to parent level folder and give recursive option and it will go through all folders

Foreach loop

Hello,
I am trying to convert a normal for loop to the new foreach loop. I was able to do one function that prints every element, but can't seem to be able to modify the elements in the array.
//This works ok
public static void printjoy(int [][] array1)
System.out.println();
for (int x[] : array1)
for (int y : x)
System.out.print(y);
System.out.println();
System.out.println();
//This causes no errors, but it doesn't do the "element plus 10". It just returns the same array unchanged.
public static void adjArray(int [][] array2)
for (int x[] : array2)
for (int y : x)
y = y +10;
This is the array declaration and initialization:
int [][] joy = {
{66,4,73,4},
{81,82,81,18},
{20,22,69,76},
{71,65,84,79}
This is how I call the two functions:
printjoy(joy); //original array
adjArray(joy); //add ten to each element
printjoy(joy); //print adjusted array
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am trying to convert a normal for loop to the new
foreach loop. I was able to do one function that
prints every element, but can't seem to be able to
modify the elements in the array.Right, you can't do that.
for (int ii : arr) {
ii = 0; // just changes ii, not the array element it's a copy of
is equivalent to
for (int ix = 0; ix < arr.length; ix++) {
int ii = arr[ix];
ii = 0; // just changes ii, not the array element it's a copy of
}With the foreach loop, you don't have access to the array, only to the element's value.

ForEach Loop Iteration Order

Hi,
I have a SSIS package that uses a Foreach Loop Container to iterate through a series of flat files. The order in which the files are iterated through is based on the name of the file. Is it possible to change the iteration order? More specifically, can the
iteration order be changed to the date when the file was placed in the iteration folder? i.e files that have been sitting in a folder for a longer amount of time get processed first?

you can change order but for that you need to use a control table based approach. Using file enumerator will always take order based on filename.
The approach would be like this. Have a for each loop based on file enumerator first. Take the filename and arrival date (this you can get inside a script task see
http://jamelcato.com/111/how-to-check-last-modified-date-using-ssis/) and populate the table with the information.
Have a object variable and set query as
SELECT fileName
FROM table
ORDER BY DateField
Then have a for each loop to iterate through object variable use ADO enumerator
http://www.select-sql.com/mssql/loop-through-ado-recordset-in-ssis.html
This would make sure it iterates based on file date value. Then have a variable inside to retrieve filename each time and use it for whatever processing you want.

Foreach Loop only looping once

Hi,
Please be patient and bear with me, for I am new to SSIS packages.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 to host the SQL Agent job and the SSIS package.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition for designing the SSIS package. It is version 9.0.30729, Version 3.5 SP1.
I am on a Windows 8 machine.
My Foreach Loop Container seems to iterate only once when it should iterate numerous times, and this issue happens BOTH when I execute the SSIS package from within Visual Studio AND when I run a SQL Agent job to execute the SSIS package.
For the solution within Visual Studio, I have False for the property Run64BitRuntime.
In the SSIS pckg in Visual Studio, I have in the Variables pane a number of variables and these following variables pertain to my problem:
Name: objRs     Scope: the name of the SSIS package     DataType: Object    Value: System.Object
Name: txtVendorFamilyNumber   Scope: the name of the SSIS package DataType: String   Value: 111111
The value "111111" that I entered into the txtVendorFamilyNumber variable in the Variable Pane is NOT a realistic value as there are no vendor family numbers that have the value 111111. I will populate dynamically the real vendor family numbers
from within the SSIS package.
When I imported the SSIS package to SQL Server 2008 R2, via the ellipsis button for the Protection Level I chose the "Rely on server storage and roles for access control" choice.
Concerning the flow of the SSIS package, going down within Visual Studio from the beginning of the flow of the SSIS package, eventually I have an Execute SQL Task. In its General tab, it has "1252" for CodePage property, "Full result set"
for ResultSet property, "OLE DB" for ConnectionType property, "Direct input" for SQL Source Type property, "False" for BypassPrepare property, and the following for the SQLStatement property:
     select txtVendorFamilyNumber from tmpVendorFamily where VendorID = (select min(VendorID) from tmpVendorFamily)
In the tmpVendorFamily table on SQL Server 2008 R2, there are 379 rows of results for the SELECT statement above (starting with the values 100110, 100115, 100120, 100130, through the LAST row's value 106370.
In the Parameter Mapping tab of the Execute SQL Task Editor, I have nothing. In the Expressions tab of the Execute SQL Task Editor, I have nothing.
In the Result Set tab of the Execute SQL Task Editor, I have the value 0 for Result Name property and I have the value User::objRs as the value in the Variable Name property.
This Execute SQL Task has a green arrow (Constraint evaluation operation, Success in Value drop down) to the Foreach Loop Container.
In the Foreach Loop Editor, in the Collection tab, I have "Foreach ADO Enumerator" as the value in the Enumerator property. In the drop down for ADO Object Source Variable, I have chosen the User::objRs, and I have the radio button "Rows in
the first table" selected.
In the Foreach Loop Editor, in the Expressions tab, I have nothing.
In the Foreach Loop Editor, in the Variable Mappings tab, I have "User::txtVendorFamilyNumber" for the Variable property and I have the value "0" for the Index property.
So in the Foreach Loop, I first have a Script Task with the ReadOnly variable User::txtVendorFamilyNumber and with the ReadWrite variable User::TESTING_OnlyTesting that I created with a package scope, string datatype, and no default value. This Script Task
has the following code for testing purposes:
Dim strFullVerbiage As String
strFullVerbiage = "The value is: "
Dts.Variables("User::TESTING_OnlyTesting").Value = strFullVerbiage + Dts.Variables("User::txtVendorFamilyNumber").Value.ToString()
Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
I have next in the Foreach Loop Container a Send Mail task. In the Expressions tab of the Send Mail Task Editor, I have for the Message Source property the following:
      @[User::TESTING_OnlyTesting]
The remaining tasks (including FTP Tasks) in the Foreach Loop Container are disabled for now as I am trying to figure out why the Foreach Loop only iterates the FIRST time, only iterates once.
When I run on SQL Server 2008 R2 the SELECT statement from the Execute SQL Task, I get 379 rows of results. The default value 111111 that I entered into the Variable Pane for the txtVendorFamilyNumber variable does NOT exist in any of these 379 rows of results.
The 1st row of results has for the txtVendorFamilyNumber column the value 100110. Then the subsequent rows of results have the values 100115, 100120, 100130, et cetera, ending with the value 106370 in the last row of results.
I imported the SSIS package into Integration Services on SQL Server 2008 R2. When I imported to Integration Services, in the Import Package editor for the Protection Level I chose the "Rely on server storage and roles for access control" choice
because there are FTP Tasks and we needed to use this "Rely on server storage and roles for access control" choice.
I created a SQL Agent job that executes this SSIS package.
When I run the SQL Agent job, no error happens and I get only ONE email with the value 100110 for the vendor family number in it. I should get 379 emails total, the 2nd email showing 100115, the 3rd email showing 100120, et cetera.
When I was testing while executing the SSIS package from within Visual Studio, I did NOT have the Send Mail task and I only had enabled one Script Task that had the ReadOnly variable User::txtVendorFamilyNumber and the following lines of code:
MsgBox(CType(Dts.Variables("User::txtVendorFamilyNumber").Value, String))
Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
Executing the SSIS package with only this Script Task enabled within the Foreach Loop Container, I would get the ONE message box showing 100110 but I would not get any message box for a SECOND ITERATION of the loop.
Since my txtVendorFamilyNumber in the Variables Pane has the default hard-coded value 111111 that does NOT exist in the result set of the Execute SQL Task that feeds the Foreach Loop, and since the first and only email sent shows the value 100110 when I
run the SQL Agent job that runs the SSIS package that is set up to send an email from within the Foreach Loop Container, the FIRST LOOP seems to run correctly and shows correctly the 1st value 100110 in the 379 rows of results that populate the Foreach Loop
Container. Why does the Foreach Loop Container NOT loop more than once?
Could anybody give me any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
I thank you in advance for your consideration of my problem. I have been reading and reading on the Internet to try to find a solution but I have not solved yet my problem with the Foreach loop only iterating once.
Thanks much to you.

Gregarious greetings Arthur,
I very much appreciate your reply.
This morning I figured out my problem with the help of a fellow employee.
In my original post higher up, I had typed about the SELECT statement in the Execute SQL Task that is just before the Foreach Loop Container and that populates the User::objRs, and this SELECT statement was in the old DTS package in an old ActiveX script
task. The SELECT statement was in an old DTS package in an old ActiveX script task and I am creating a new SSIS package to replace the old DTS package so that we can move from the old version of SQL Server to a new SQL Server 2008 R2 server. Here is that
SELECT statement:
select txtVendorFamilyNumber from tmpVendorFamily where VendorID = (select min(VendorID) from tmpVendorFamily)
That SELECT statement above returns ONLY ONE result. I had not noticed it. That SELECT statement fills the objRs result set. The green arrow goes from the Execute SQL Task that has the SELECT statement down to the Foreach Loop Container that loops over the
result set. Since the SELECT statement that fills the result set only has one row of results, the Foreach Loop only looped once.
So for the Execute SQL Task that populates the result set User::objRs, I changed the SELECT statement to be the following:
--In the Utilities DB, this tmpVendorFamily table
--has only two columns named VendorID and txtVendorFamilyNumber.
SELECT DISTINCT txtVendorFamilyNumber
FROM Utilities.dbo.tmpVendorFamily
ORDER BY txtVendorFamilyNumber
Now the Foreach Loop will loop 379 times since the SELECT statement immediately above yields 379 rows of results.
So the Foreach Loop Container was fine. Its Collection tab has the "Foreach ADO Enumerator" for the Enumerator and has the "User::objRs" for the ADO Object Source Variable. Its Variable Mappings tab has "User::txtVendorFamilyNumber"
for the Variable and has "0" for the Index.
My problem was the SELECT statement in the Execute SQL Task that immediately precedes the Foreach Loop Container and that fills the User::objRs result set. The SELECT statement yielded only ONE row of results. When I corrected this morning that SELECT statement
so that it correctly yields 379 rows of results, the Foreach Loop Container loops 379 rows.
Thanks again for replying and trying to help. I very much appreciate it.
I consider this thread that I created to be closed since I figured out this morning how I needed to correct the SELECT statement in the Execute SQL Task that fills the result set on which the Foreach Loop loops.

FOREACH LOOP IN SSIS

I have a folder structure as below:
Main
--201310
----October language line.xlsx
----October billing report.xlsx
-- 201311
----November language line.xlsx
----November billing report.xlsx
-- 201312
----December language line.xlsx
----December billing report.xlsx
so the folder structure is main -> yearmonth folder -> files.
I have to loop through the yearmonth folders and then pick all the files from respective yearmonth folder.
Could someone help me do this. I am a newbie to SSIS.

Use the Foreach Loop File Enumerator. More details
here.
It fills an SSIS String variable with the complete path of the excel file. You can use that variable in an expression on the
ExcelFilePath property of the excel connection manager.

Urgent---- Usinging t-sql in Foreach loop with recordset

Hi All,
       I am new to SSIS 2012. I am trying to create a package that will loop through a control table and perform a series of task per record. To be more clear this is what i am trying to do.
    *   Read a control plan table into recordset objPlan with 10 columns. ( this seems to be working fine )
    *   Do a Foreach loop that will run a
t-sql task to delete all records from an output table then load new data. (not working)
         @[User::var_Plan_dim] ( is one of the columns on the record set) this is indexed as 1
         I have tried to do a t-sql command
                     delete from table where plan = @[User::var_Plan_dim] ( this does not work )
                     ** I have ResultsSetType set to ResultSetType_None any other options causes error????
        Could you send me a link or show me an example of what the configuration should be for the
Foreach and T-SQL should be?
Thank you in Advance!!!!
I have working on this for days without any luck and I could really use your help...

Hi hsbal,
        I have worked my way through that with your help Thank You...
        But i am having another issue now, in the foreach loop i have 12 variable
      variable                                 index
       User::objplan                       0
object
       User::var_Plan _ dim            1   etc....             string
       User::var_provider_status     11                      string
       when i run the process i get this error:
Error: The enumerator failed to retrieve element at index "11".
Error: ForEach Variable Mapping number 11 to variable "User::var_provider_status" cannot be applied.
Error: The enumerator failed to retrieve element at index "11".
Error: ForEach Variable Mapping number 11 to variable "User::var_provider_status" cannot be applied.
        So should the object variable be indexed 0? I tried taking the objplan off the list of variable and renumber 0-10 and the program didn't like index "1" with the same error, do I don't think
it is really column/field related.
Thanks,
Dawn
