Hi guys !!
I’m having a problem, I have a BACKUP folder with 5,000 files, but I just want to copy it from 6 days ago, is there a solution?
Welcome to our UiPath community
Try below expression.
List<String> requiredFiles = (from f in new DirectoryInfo("BackupFolderPath").GetFiles() where f.CreationTime >= Now.AddDays(-6) select f ).ToList()
The above expressions will give you last 6 days file. Then use For Each loop activity and inside use Copy File activity to copy files to destination directory.
Hi !
I still don’t understand, is there any possibility to assemble a simple example?
observation; I have standard studio ignore studioXle?
I don’t have any workflow in ready for above scenario.
Try above expression and replace BackupFolderPath with actual folder path.
Copy files 6 days ago until today to different folder - is this requirement? Please clarify or brief your requirement…
Hi !
That’s right! copy the files from the last 6 days to a different folder.
Here you go with a xaml on this
Hope this would help you resolve this
copyfile.zip (2.4 KB)
I have commented out the copy file activity
Press on that activity and press ctrl+e so that it will get enabled
And in the expression mention your folder path

@Luan_Carvalho_Da_Conceica - If you would like to do it in a traditional way…
-
For Each
Directory.GetFiles(“YourFolderName”) and I am calling as EachFile instead of default Item
-
IF
New FileInfo(eachFile).LastWriteTime.Date >= Today.Date.AddDays(-6)
Then → Copy File Activity
Else → Nothing
LINQ Method…
StrArrFiles = Directory.GetFiles("YourFolderName").Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).LastWriteTime.Date >= Today.Date.AddDays(-6)).ToArray
Use StrArrFiles in the ForEach activity and inside use CopyFile activity…
OR write the LINQ code directly in the ForEach statement…
Hope this helps…
it didn’t work, because I was copying everything that was in the folder, however, adding a formula from our friend @prasath17, it worked.
so thank you all for your help!
Thanks ! Your formula worked !!
Wondering how come
Because I included the same formula and I tried from my end as well
@Luan_Carvalho_Da_Conceica
Your > Directory.GetFiles(“C:\Users\palan\Documents\UiPath”).ToList().Where(Function(a) CDate(new System.IO.FileInfo(a).CreationTime)>Now.AddDays(- 6)).Toarray
replace your formula with that of your friend @prasath17
Directory.GetFiles(“YourFolderName”).Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).LastWriteTime.Date >= Today.Date.AddDays(-6)).ToArray
Yeah I have used CreationTime of the file and filtered -6 days ago file alone
Instead of this I suggested to keep your folderpath
And he has used Lastwritetime which is last edited time of the file and filtered -6 days ago file alone
