[rnahasnahasuddin (RN)]

Hi,

I am using the below activity to find the file of a particular folder in UiPath

and the output of this activity is saved in this variable

My query is,

how can i get the count of the files from the output?

@rnahasnahasuddin,

Your Result variable would be collection type datatype. So you can get the count using Result.Count

Just a caution of word to avoid using Find Files and Folder as it’s already deprecated.

Activities - Find Files And Folders

it only returing as 1.

the files inside the invoice folder are around 300. so I need the count as 300

@rnahasnahasuddin,

Find Files and Folders will find a file with it’s name or whatever filter we configure.

If you want to get all the files in a folder, we will have to use For Each File/Folder which gain have limitation of 200 items only.

Activities - For Each File/Folder

I never tried but check if there some pagination we can do here. That’s the only way. I will try this in free time and update here.

while printing the output of FindResult in immediate panel, i got driveitem details with the below data also

Folder=Folder { AdditionalData=null, ChildCount=313, ODataType=null, View=null },

here this childcount is the count of files inside the folder.

So how can I get the value printed ?

@rnahasnahasuddin

Try like this

Files.Count (Files is the output)

Thanks all for your help.

I got the count value by the following method

FindResult.Folder.ChildCount
