Directory.getfile method we have to pass two arguments.

  1. It is your folder path

  2. Your filter

Sample:

Directory.Getfiles(“C:/Inputfiles/”, “*.xlsx”)

With the above expression it will search in the mentioned folder and only retrieve the xlsx files.

Both arguments we have to separate with comma.

I am not sure about your filter and your folder path from config. Please review if you are giving input the correct data. Thanks.

yes can confirm my folder path is correct and is working fine on other sequence. think the problem here now is the filter.

Specifically the format of the filename is:

countrycode_reportType_prevDate_time

what i wanted was to get the files with wildcard time. appreciate ur fast response still, thx
