Welcome to the community

May I know what is the match criteria that you are using? And array is immutable so convert to list and try or append to list would help and then at last can convert to array again

You can try this

  1. Initialize a list L1
  2. For loop on array A1 and type argument to string in for loop propwrties
  3. If condition to check currentitem.Contains("cyz")
  4. On then side use append item to list and append currentitem to L1
  5. Outside loop L1.ToArray() to convert

Else using linq

Arr = arr.ToList.Where(function(x) x.Contains("xyz")).ToArray

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi @Shiva_Nikhil

  1. Firstly you can initialize an array variable to store the matched items. Eg:- ‘arrItemsMatch’
  2. Use a “For Each” loop activity to iterate through each item in your input array.
  3. Inside the loop, use an “If” activity to check if the current item matches your criteria. If the item matches, add it to the arrItemsMatch array using the “Add To Collection” activity.
  4. After the loop completes, the arrItemsMatch array will contain all the items that matched your criteria.
  5. You can then use the arrItemsMatch array as needed in your subsequent UiPath activities, such as writing the matched items to a CSV file, performing further processing, or displaying the matched items in a message box.

Thanks!!

Okay, another way to solve is that

  1. You have the string value of the Parentfolder and 15 sub folders file Name
  2. Declare another String variable as Matches
  3. Use Get Text activity and you need to use If condition as stringvariable.Contains(GetTextValue)
  4. If true then write as Matches.Append(GetTextValue).ToArray

Hope this may help you

Hi @Shiva_Nikhil - Try below methods

Method1

  • Read the folder names into an array (variable name say FolderName)
  • Take while loop, and keep the condition as 1<=10(1 should be stored in a variable say Counter, this increments every time), as you’ll get 10 different values using Get Text
  • Within this loop, use For Each to loop through each folder, take If condition within the same loop (For Each) to validate the Get Text output matches with any folder name
  • If matches, do the required options, then break the For Each loop using Break activity
  • This way, the while loops for 10 times, and each extracted value using Get Text can validate with all folder names
  • Increment counter variable, it loops back and repeat the actions

Method2:

  • Read the folder names into an array (variable name say FolderName)
  • Take while loop, and keep the condition as 1<=10 (1 should be stored in a variable say Counter, this increments every time), as using Get Text you’ll get 10 different values
  • Within this loop, instead of For Each you can simply take If condition,
FolderName.contains(GetTextOutput)

Then > Do required actions

Else > Do required actions

FolderName is the array variable that has folder names within the parent folder
  • Increment counter variable, it loops back and repeat the actions until the while condition become false
