Hi All SSIS Gurus
i need help. i have a ssis package which loop through the excel files and import the data into sql table. it is working fine with reading multiple files in a folder. issue is file names has date time stamp means file name changes everyday and i couldn't figure out how to accomodate new file names into my package. read few articles and they talk about using script task. could anyone please give me details instruction about the script because i have no idea from where i should start writing the script. please help...

sorry didnt understand whats the difficulty you're facing. Are you trying to identify files that belong to a particular day? If yes, you can use Instr() function inside script task to check for current date patter within filename. just need to compare filename variable against a variable containing value of now() function which gives current datetime value. Also make sure you do proper formatting of date to get in same format as in filename before the comparison using Instr()
