How do I attach files with a today's date stamp and send via email?

[brettthompson]

I have several files in a folder from different days. I need to attach only the ones that were created today and send in an email.

Hi @brettthompson

Welcome to forum

You can filter the files based on creation date wich is created today and then it as attachment via email activities

I can’t seem to get the coding correct.
“strFolder”+Now.ToString(“MM.dd.yyyy”)+”.word"
Directory.EnumerateFiles(strFolder)

Hi @brettthompson

Try to filter the files in a directory using the below assign activitiy

file_list= Directory.GetFiles(folderpath).Where(Function (file) FileInfo(file).CreationTime.ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”).Equals(Now.ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)).ToArray()

Then u get a list of file path which were created today

By this u attach those file and send via email

@brettthompson - Please try this…

Code: New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(YourFolderPath).GetFiles().where(Function(file) file.CreationTime.Date=Now.date).ToArray()

Here ArrFileInfo is of variable type system.IO.FileInfo

For Each type argument should be set to system.IO.FileInfo

Output:

Desktop Files

Update: Alternate

StrArrFiles = Directory.GetFiles(YourPath).Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).CreationTime.Date = DateTime.Today.Date).ToArray

StrArrFiles is of variable type String Array.

If you want to include the subfolders also, then

Directory.GetFiles(YourFolderPath,"*",SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).CreationTime.Date = DateTime.Today.Date).ToArray
