@Bhavya_Amala_Kosana - could you please show the screenshot of the file name ?
Please check this post …
Did u mean u need to open the file having today’s date as creation date or file having today’s date as filename ?
file having today’s date as filename
Can you please give a example name of the text file. So that we can design the code.
Thanks.
the file name is as follows cadence_18032021, cadence_19032021, cadence_20032021. i want my code to open and read only the file with today’s date
Hi @Bhavya_Amala_Kosana - please try like this
StrFiles = Directory.GetFiles(“yourpath”,“cadence_”+Now.date.ToString(“ddMMyyyy”)+“*.txt”)
Please find the below screen shots for your reference.

The best way would we to filter the files in the folder by the given condition and then read the list of text files which satisfies that

It should be array of files. If there is only one file name for day then it should look like this:
StrFiles = Directory.GetFiles(“yourpath”,“cadence_”+Now.date.ToString(“ddMMyyyy”)+“*.txt”)(0).toString
If there is more files with today date then 1:
arr_strFiles = Directory.GetFiles(“yourpath”,“cadence_”+Now.date.ToString(“ddMMyyyy”)+“*.txt”)
And in for each item in arr_strFiles we can open the file
Thank you
Thank you all for helping me. I got it.
