Using angular I want to input two files with same name but different file extension by doing the input of just one

Question

<input #fileInput hidden="true" type="file" accept="*" (onChange)="uploadFile($event)"/>

and in my component.ts

uploadFile(fileEvent){}

try to use multiple attribute in your input and check. <input #fileInput hidden="true" type="file" accept="*" (onChange)="uploadFile($event)" multiple/> — Farhat Zaman

@FarhatZaman I don't want to use multiple, I want to restrict the user to select only one file, like abc.doc then our code should check and pick the abc.pdf along with abc.doc. — Andy

Javascript will not allow you to read a file that was not selected through file selector for security reasons. It would be a major security breach if you entered a web page and it could read randomly files in your system.
