To read given number of files, one can use follow below
steps:
1. In the sequential file stage, Use Read Method as
Specific File(s).
2. Now in the file text field, Put below command.
`ls /* | head -<Number of files to be read>`
This will read given number of files.
For example, I had 5 files, with similar pattern (as
date*.txt), in working folder say "/data/working/". If we
want to read three files out of these five files, one can
use following command:
`ls /data/working/date*.txt | head -3`
Hope this helps.
