ToList is what you need to write…ToList(0) will take only the first file directly

cheers

3

I only need to read the first file in directory due to which using ToList(0)

@prerna.gupta

Then why are you using For each?

cheers

Error
As in above im using the value of item and performing needful

@prerna.gupta

As already its the single file path you dont need to use loop…you can directly use move file with str_arr_Inputfile…

If you use for loop in the string variable then it breaks it into characters which you dont need

cheers

if i do not use foe each loop, then while suing move command what value will be passed in item ? As item is dynamic value

8

@prerna.gupta

Instead of item pass str_arr_Inputfile

You will use for loop if you have a array of files and if you need toa ccess each…but now you already are getting only single file you just need to move that

cheers
