Hi

You can use this code

Directory.GetFiles("yourDirectory","*.ZIP")

This will give you only ZIP files from particular directory

Now that you already have file names you can simply check this

string ext = Path.GetExtension(myFilePath)

This is will give file extension which can be used in if condition

if ext=".ZIP"

what ever the path you provided in Path.GetExtension()

In your workflow, the “GetFiles” array contains the full path of each files in your specified directory and you gave each string name as ‘File’ in the for each loop. So You can pass the source file path for ‘unzip file’ activity and path for ‘delete’ activity as “File”.
