I want to search for the same bulk of files in different folders and they are all located in a folder.
For example I want to search for a “File_name” in “folder_1”, “folder_2”, “folder_3” and tell me in which ones does it exist. “folder_1”, “folder_2”, “folder_3” are all located in a main folder. I want the results to be exported in an excel file and for each folder to have a column with the results of the search.
Hi
Welcome to uipath forum
Hope these steps would help you resolve this
- Use below command to get files in that directory and assign output to string array in a assign activity
arr_files = Directory.GetFiles("Ur folder path")
- check the length of the array. If length is greater than zero, then files exists in folder otherwise files not exists in folder like this
arr_files.Length >= 0
If true it goes to THEN part where you can confirm that the file is in this folder which you can update in excel file

Hi,
Where should I write the " arr_files = Directory.GetFiles(“Ur folder path”) "command?
@Mihai_Iancu - are you trying in StudioX or Studio?
If Studio please change the your post category to that because it is currently posted under StudioX…
I am trying in StudioX
@Mihai_Iancu - Sorry for the delayed response…Are you looking something like this??
I have 3 folder under the MasterFolder…
And one of the folder contains the file i am searching for…
Since I have checked “Include sub-folders”, it will search all the folders under MasterFolder and look for the file name contains “736”…
Hope this helps…
yes, but the same file can be found in more than 1 folder.
