[Swift-devel] mapper problem or ...?

[Veronika V. Nefedova]

ok, here is in short what I need to do:

at some point in the workflow N files are produced (in my case its 68, but 
it could be any number). These files produced each by a separate job (i.e. 
N jobs produce N files).
The next job in the workflow needs to take those N files as an input.

Question: how do I pass these unknown number of files as an input to an 
application ? The array_mapper didn't work (or i didn't use it correctly).

Thanks!
