How to provide an option to the user to choose output path?

[geetanjali.nerlekar (Geet)]

Hi guys,
I’m transferring files using python script, I have provided an input and output paths in “Invoke python method”, but due to constantly using different paths, now i want the bot to take the output path from any files like config or something, or is there any way that i can provide an option to the user to choose the output path through bot?

HI @geetanjali.nerlekar

Welcome to UiPath community

1. You can try with Input Dialog box activity

2. Use If activity to check the users input

Check out the XAML file

UserOptionSelection.xaml (6.9 KB)

hey, thankyou
But how the bot will take these chosen paths in the invoke method-parameters?

[Gokul001 (Gokul Balaji)]

You can pass the path in the Parameter and get @geetanjali.nerlekar

Hi @geetanjali.nerlekar

You check out the screenshot for better understanding

Passing arguments to Python

Depends what you mean by using sys.argv. I can call this script from the command line with an arguement or call the run() method directly from UiPath with the text argument. This is the python code: import sys def run(text): return " Hi " + text if __name__ == "__main__": run(sys.argv[1]) and this is the invoke python activity to call the script: [image] The output is as expected, “Hi Bob”: [image]
