Hi @jamunatj ,

Using this you can able to find the extension of the file …

New FileInfo("File Path").Extension

Based on the this you can move the files.

Fine this expression would help you on that
–for example if we want to move only te csv files thhe use a ASSIGN activity with this expression
arr_csvfiles = Directory.Getfiles(“yourfolderpath”,“*.csv”)
where arr_csvfiles is a variable of type array of string
–now use a FOR EACH loop and pass the above variable as input and change the type argument as string in the property panel
–inside the loop use a MOVE FILE activity where mention the path property with item.ToString and destination property with the folder path where we want to move this file one by one

similarly use the same expression for other file extensions as well
like this
arr_jpgfiles = Directory.Getfiles(“yourfolderpath”,“*.jpg”)
arr_xlsxfiles = Directory.Getfiles(“yourfolderpath”,“*.xlsx”)
Cheers @jamunatj

Hi @Palaniyappan,

Its Working fine But Instead of giving destination path in move file activity how to create the folder
with that extension name ( BOT itself) and move the file in that folder.

10

we can use CREATE DIRECTORY activity for creating the folder
Cheers @jamunatj

I mean, in downloaded file folder (for example: “.csv” extension file is there means bot need to create the folder with that extension name and then have to move the file in that folder.)
