Hello @HeartCatcher

You can use Create Folder activity. In the Folder name field give as “now.ToString(“dd-MM-yyyy”)”

09/06/2022 will not allow as folder name. so you can use 09-06-2022

Create Folder

Ok, after creating where the created folder get saved??
I mean default location??

[Rahul_Unnikrishnan]

you can provide the path in the parent folder field. In that folder only the New folder will get create.

[Praveenkumar.e (Praveen kumar)]

Directory.CreateDirectory("Data\"+Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")).FullName

This will create a new folder and returns the full folder path.

Note: Give the parent folder path instead of "Data".

C:\Users\NaveenkuS7\Documents\UMR_PDF

Ok try this in Assign statement

Directory.CreateDirectory(“C:\Users\NaveenkuS7\Documents\UMR_PDF\”+Now.ToString(“dd-MM-yyyy”)).FullName

@HeartCatcher

You can use UiPath.Core.Activities.CreateDirectory

In the path. "C:\Users\NaveenkuS7\Documents\UMR_PDF\ "+Now.ToString(“dd-MM-yyyy”)

Like this. Create a variable for saving the newly created file path.
