Process 1 file out of multiple in Email

Hello,
I'll start off that I don't have any issues running my process when there is only 1 attachment to the email received. The issue I am running into is when there is more than 1 attachment in the email. I only want to process 1/2 of the files attached. I tried to put in the file name into the 'attachment file pattern' field not sure if I have it entered incorrectly.
Attachment File Pattern: 'test.xlsx'
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. I've posted my XML below

Hi @mtran,the parameter setting looks good.Some remarks:- If you only want to process 1 file and you know the name, there is no need for the Select Operator. You can enter the file name in the Parameter- If the file names always differ, maybe there is a pattern which you can use as input together with placeholders (* ?)- Just to be sure: You wrote: "I only want to process 1/2 of the files attached". I assume you meant only 1 of 2 files (and not half of the files), right?Please find attached my XML which worked fine.Happy Mining,Edin

Hello @mtran ,
In my opinion, this xml code doesn't have any relationship with the email process.
Also, even if I don't know if there is a specific operator about that, generally when you want to do
the same thing but multiply times, there are "loop" operator. So I suggest you have a look at them.
Hope it helps.
