How to use File Exists for Dynamic File?

[prabin_chand1 (RoboChan)]

Hello !
I have a file which gets download in default folder and i need to check if file exists or not.

FileName as : “Report_of_DSCL_20345234.xlsx” , Report_of_DSCL_ this value is constant and follows random number.

How can i use File Exists using wild card.?

HI,

Can you try to use GetFiles method instead of FileExists, as the following?

files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("Download path","Report_of_DSCL_*.xlsx")

Hi @prabin_chand1

You can use the following RegEx pattern to determine the same:

Report_of_DSCL_\d+.xlsx

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(filePath, "Report_of_DSCL_\d+\.xlsx").Value

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

Hi @prabin_chand1

You can try with Regular Expression

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch("C:\Users\DELL\Documents\UiPath\Test\Report_of_DSCL_20345234.xlsx","Report_of_DSCL_")
