For Each: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.String[]'

[Gilberto_Marinho]

Hello, guys.

455/5000

I’m trying to iterate through the files of a directory. I am using the System.IO.Directory.GetFiles () function to extract the file names in the directory and I am saving the function return in a System.String . To iterate through this array, I’m using a for each, with the system.string argument as well. But I am encountering this error:
For Each: Unable to cast object of type ‘System.String’ to type ‘System.String ’.

What can it be?

Specify Type Argument as String and then try it once.

[Gilberto_Marinho]

where should i specify? in for each, in the variable or both?

@Gilberto_Marinho

Change it under Type argument field.

TypeArgument is highlighted with a red box in the screenshot. That should be String instead of System.String
