From the output of the `zip` node I did `split` but the results were different although the contents of the zip files **FOLDER\_TEXT.zip** and **FOLDER\_01.zip** were the same.

```

Are `split` node results true or false?  
I would like the split result of file **FOLDER\_01.zip** to be the same as the split result of file **FOLDER\_TEXT.zip**. Is it possible?

Please tell me!  
Thanks.

Add debug nodes and check that output of file nodes are exactly the same  
e.g

If your ZIP file name is **Text1\_01.zip** , the result will be different.  
The problem here is that the split result of the ZIP file name is **\_character**.zip different from **\_numberic**.zip  
Like my two ZIP file names are **\_TEXT** and **\_01**  
'-----'  
The result of ZIP file **FOLDER.zip** and **FOLDER\_TEXT.zip** is the same, but will differ from the ZIP file **FOLDER\_01.zip**

Can you upload the zip files somewhere where we can download them?

When I downloaded them - they have quite different file sizes which implies that they are not similiar

I don't know why, but each ZIP file has only 3 txt files.

I think whatever created those files has created them differently
