-------------- LOOPS ----------------------

[loop] in the first loop iteration - overwrite the Excel file
https://forum.knime.com/t/group-loop-not-working-with-sheets-renaming/61194/2?u=mlauber71

Special loop example involving data bases
https://forum.knime.com/t/joiner-node-in-loop/11343/5?u=mlauber71

[loop] Recursive Loop (use a very simple loop to make a forecast prediction. Also use temporary table to store information in a loop an read it back)

-------------- PATH ----------------------
[path] Create path variables in KNIME
https://forum.knime.com/t/write-multiple-csv-file-to-a-loop/44989/2?u=mlauber71

[path] extract paths stored in a node
https://forum.knime.com/t/add-read-sheet-protection-to-excel-file/63860/5?u=mlauber71

even more fun with URI, URL and File Paths - work with the new Path variable format to list and move/copy files - using the latest KNIME version 4.6

[switch] An example of combining SQL database, loop and case switch
https://hub.knime.com/mlauber71/spaces/Public/latest/kn_example_switch_case_store_file_sql~k2DRahhctYmHk-zg

[switch] Check if column is present and use if-switch accordingly
https://hub.knime.com/mlauber71/spaces/Public/latest/kn_example_if_switch?u=mlauber71

[switch] Use Java Snippet to check if Column is there, fill a FlowVariable and then activate if switch
