How to use click activity depending on the current year

[mr_nobody]

Hello,

Please help, is there any way where the robot can automatically select the folder with the current year in its name?

For example, I have 3 folders:
2022
2023
2024

Here’s the scenario:

Hello @lrtetala,

I just want the robot to double click the folder with current year then after the robot double click the folder it will continue to the sub folder; it will repeat the robot to check if there’s a folder with current date then double click again:

Welcome to the community

For this you would not use ui

instead use PathExists activity and use Path.Combine("BaseFolder",Now.Year,Now.ToString("ddMMMyyyy")) … this will check if there is an year folder and if there is a todays date folder under it and returns a boolean to say exits or not

if yes then use the path as you need

cheers

Hello @Anil_G,

I already used the PathExist activity, but it will not take effect on my requirements. Here’s the scenario that I want to achieve:

Use click activity:

1. Click Desktop
2. Click Infolink
3. Click BDO
4. Check if there’s a folder with the current year has been exist using a click activity (note: I have many folders with a year I just want the robot to click automatically where he finds the folder with a name of the current year)
