Hi! @Debartha_Mitra_DE ,

Pass the file path through a variable with the extension “.pdf”.

Hi,
Thanks for your response, I did it in this way as well.
But no luck.

[THIRU_NANI (NaNi)]

Hi!
please try this.

fileNamePath=Directory.getfiles("D:/-----.pdf").ToString

Hi,
you mean to say similar like this ?

Directory.getfiles(“C:/Users/DE118723/Documents/UiPath/UiPath DocDigitizer API/Rechnung201Redacted.pdf”).ToString

This code is throwing error (invalid directory name) as this code usually asks for directory name not the file name

Let me know if I am making any mistake or not.

hey! try like this

1. Use assign activity :
   fileNamePath=directory.GetFiles(FolderPath)
   FolderPath= Path of folder where your files are present
2. Use for each activity
   Inside body of for each use if condition activity
   item.Contains(“.pdf”)

Here you’ll get the files which contains the .pdf extension.
