It’s for append item to List.
For example, assume the following List<string> type variable

listStr = New List(Of String)From{"A","B","C"}

AppendItemToList activty can add item to the list as the following.

Hi,

If filename ends with yyyyMMdd style date (ex sample20230404.xlsx), the following expression will work.

arrSrcXlsx = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("yourFolder","*.xlsx").OrderByDescending(Function(f) System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f),"\d{8}$")).Take(7).ToArray

IN this code you have written like {} idx,{} CurrentItem, {} listDt what does it meant and what is the data type of variable?
