Hi @bbarik1994,

Directory.GetFiles returns the files in the Folder, not the Subfolders

You can use the below expression to get the xlsx files from these 3 Subfolders.

Directory.GetFiles(“D:\Projects”,“*.xlsx”,SearchOption.AllDirectories)

Suppose you have 3 sub folders
Folder 1 - Has Files of Structure Folder1\Test1.xlsx ,Folder1\Test2.xlsx
Folder 2 - Has Files of Structure Folder2\Test1.xlsx ,Folder2\Test2.xlsx
Folder 3 - Has Files of Structure Folder2\Test1.xlsx ,Folder2\Test2.xlsx

Then in the above expression needs to be modified like this

Directory.GetFiles(“D:\Projects”,“Folder1.xlsx”,SearchOption.AllDirectories)

So the above will give all the files from Folder1 and the same needs to done for other folders

yeah but in my case i need to process 3 folder differently, it’s not like i want to take all files at once from those 3 folders, i need all files from 1 folder then goto another one then another one(because of some different process), that’s why i was talking about passing it under one for each

So When you use this
Directory.GetFiles(“D:\Projects”,“ Folder1 .xlsx”,SearchOption.AllDirectories), you will get array of files for folder 1 and you perform the actions and same with other 2 folders.

Its just you will be using multiple for each for performing actions on different folders
