try like this path.getextension(file_Path) this will gives you file path extension and then check like in if condition path.getFileextension(file_Path) = “xlsx”

Use assign activity to get file extension.

FileName=“Abc.xlsx”

Extension=Path.GetExtension(FileName)

I have applied this with the help of if statement but condition is giving false means going to else part

can you please share that screen shot here and what file you are checking if possible

This expression would help you resolve this
Path.GetFileExtension(“Yourfilename.xlsx”).ToString.Contains(“xlsx”)

Cheers @Karan28

here var = “C:\Users\karan.arora\Desktop\TimesheetReportExtraction\data\User Input.xlsx\User Input.xlsx”

GetFileExtension will give us with . Along the file extension
So use contains like this
Path.GetFileExtension(“Yourfilename.xlsx”).ToString.Contains(“xlsx”)
