Hi welcome to the community!
You can get all file names like this: Directory.GetFiles(“c:\folder”) and assign it as value for a string array type variable, then you a for each with that same variable, inside the loop you use move file activity and use item as source and the new filename as destination.

Hi @madhan_pm,
you can also do this by using Command Prompt

use “Start Process” activity and pass arguments as specified in the above link. This maybe a little bit faster when comparing with iterating on the file list.

Thanks

I would suggest to use LongPathTool program. It resolves problem regarding source path too long.

Hello,
In this video I do a lot of stuff with Files (Chapter included) :

1:10 Download the file and Move the latest file to folders
4:30 Rename files with VB commands
6:00 Move files to do Rename
6:55 Delete files
8:15 Delete only PNG files
8:55 Delete all the files except PNG files
9:55 Move files

Thanks,
Cristian Negulescu
