Creating new sub folders when outputting data ?

Question

Hi,

A customer requests a nation wide set of themes to be "cookie-cut" into separate municipalities. Each municipality should have a complete set of themes in its own sub folder.

I'm using a dynamic output to TAB, with Table name set to:

(A)Value(MUNICODE)\(A)Value(fme_feature_type)

But FME just substitutes the "\" (and "/") with an underscore, so all tables end up in the same folder.

Is there a way to tell FME to create the sub folders and put data into these ?

Cheers

The tablename corresponds to the filename, that's why FME won't allow slashes.

You can specify the output directory in the "fanout dataset" settings in the Navigator.

Thanks David. I'm still new to "dynamic", but it seems this did the trick.
