I have numbers of txt files but want to copy the certain txt files to certain folders (also newly created same folder name to file name).
eg. A.txt to A folder, B.txt to B folder

Hello @koolrc812

You can use Directory.getfiles(”folder path”) to get all the files. Then loop through that list using for each activity.
Inside that use create folder activity and after use copy file activity and provide newly created folder path as destination.

Thanks

Hi @Rahul_Unnikrishnan
I have got For each then create folder.after that create copy file activity? but im stuck here what do I put in (copy file activity) To: ?
I did put the newly created folder path but it says already exists?

Create Folder, folder name: "C:\Users\Testing\Copy"+Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(txtfile.ToString)

Copy file activity To: "C:\Users\Testing\Copy"+Path.GetFileName(txtfile)

In copy file source will be “basepath”+filename+”.txt” and destination will be “basepath”+filename+”/”

Here filename is dynamic (a, b, c getting from for loop)

Sorry I’m a beginner. for the filename, do I need to declare it?
May I have a screenshot for reference?
I tried so many ways, either had error says already exists, Operator ‘+’ is not defined for string, either cant find the path.
not sure which part I missed. Thanks
