Answer Posted / venkata ramana

To read given number of files, one can use follow below

In the sequential file stage, Use
Read Method =File Pattern
File Pattern=`ls /* | head -<Number of files to be read>`

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`
