How to rename specific file among all other files?

[SRoyi]

Hi all,

I am trying to rename a specific file among its other files. So, in an array I have 9 files, and I need to rename every file with the keyword WB. So here is an example:
Before rename: Example_WB_MME
After rename: TP#Example_WB

Cheers

TP#Example_W

Loop on the files in a folder

Directory.GetFiles(“Your folder path”)

For renaming: Use rename file activity

Hi @SRoyi

You can get all the file names in an array using the following expression:

filesNameArray = Directory.GetFiles("Folder Path in which files are present")

Then use a For Each currenFileName in the filesNameArray variable & use the Rename File activity inside the loop to rename the file.

You can rename it like this:

Assign 1: newFileName = “TP#”+currentFileName.ToString

Assign 2: newFileName.Replace(“_MME”,“”)

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

Try this xaml file where I used the For Each File in Folder activity and then used an Assign activity to change the name. After that, the Rename File activity was used to execute the changes:

RenameFiles.xaml (8.3 KB)

Make sure to change your target folder when you try it:

If you’re not processing the entire folder, you can loop For Each in the array that you currently have.

This is the code for the Assign activity:

strNewFileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(CurrentFile.ToString), "TP#" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(CurrentFile.ToString).Replace("_MME", "") + "." + Path.GetExtension(CurrentFile.ToString))

Hope this works for you! thanks
