# Folder Content ?

This wildcard is employed to retrieve a comma-separated list of files within a specified folder. The wildcard is utilized in the following manner:

* {folder.content.?} 
* For the following input (?) --> R:\Users\Administrator\Pictures
* The output is going to be --> helmut-IO.ico,helmut-CO.ico \[Folder content as comma-separated values]

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please ensure that the path intended for use within the wildcard has already been resolved to a valid UNIX or UNC path. Note that a mapper node cannot be utilized within the wildcard.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure that the render node or server has access to file. If the wildcard is used on a server-side stream, the streams container needs to have access to the file path.
