Hi Team,

I want to compare two folders which is having .csv files.
If same files are there copy to one folder.(scenario 1)
If new files are there ,copy to another folder.(scenario 2)
Attached xaml works fine in scenario 1,but doesnt works in scenario 2 as its copying new files along with old files also.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Roshan,

@RajeshT, are we comparing folders by size?, or we comparing each file in one folder agains another file in a different folder? what is the criteria here?

Would it be correct if we get recent files from both folders and comparing those files against each other? if yes then are these pdf files or? and do we need to compare the data on the files or just the names?

Hi @RajeshT

Yes . when you read the folder using directory.getfiles(“FOlder_Path”) then the return variable will be array of strings.
