Hello All

I am trying to reproject a large number of ascii files in 
workbench.  Each record in the ascii file contains quantitative 
information about a point feature.

The way I understand the softwares comprehension of CSV files is 
that they do contain a feature type as such, so the filenbane itself 
is taken as the feature type.

I found some info on the user forum 
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/fme/message/11783, which 
provided a solution, in summary
- Add source dataset
- Right click, select properties
- Select "Merge feature type" and enter * in Merge filter field

This method will read and write all files selected during batch 
deploy but all to a single output file.

A workaround I found to this, was to add an additional column to 
each file with the filename or some other id, then
- Right click on destination dataset, select properties
- Select "Fanout feature type" and select the column containing 
filename as fanout attribute

Is there a way to read and write each of these files individually 
without editing the ascii files?  Using TCL is there a way to cursor 
through the files?

Also - does anyone know of some good TCL resources for beginners?

Thank you kindly in advance!

Carly
