Hi,
I have got a folder stage and say i just need to read two specific files i.e. file1.txt and file2.txt out of 100 files in that folder. How can I do that?
Regards

Not possible unless you can guarantee that these are the only files in the directory.
Prefer a sequential file stage if the files have the same structure, or two separate data streams otherwise.

Or filter option, if the file name are in same pattern.

Does the Folder stage have a filter option?

WildCard field in Output Properties page does the filter for source file. Can use File* to filter File1, File2....

Technically, 'filters' and 'wildcards' are not equivalent. However, wildcards
can be used with more than just the splat - '*'. For example on UNIX:
Will get you just
file1.txt and
file2.txt out of the '100 files in that folder'.
