How to choose a folder using select folder, then loop throughout to find the files, then to sort out files ,and then to create new folders for files according to their extension

[Dave (David Wiebelhaus)]

Select folder requires a user to actually select the folder, thus this is NOT for a robot that works in the background, is that ok?

How to choose a folder using select folder

Use the ‘select folder’ activity → save to string variable i’ll call SelectedFolder

then loop throughout to find the files

Use a ‘for each’ activity. TypeArgument should be string. The object to iterate over is: Directory.GetFiles(SelectedFolder). The final would be: For each file in Directory.GetFiles(SelectedFolder)

then to sort out files ,and then to create new folders for files according to their extension

Since you’re in a for each loop, no need to sort the files. Use an ‘create directory’ activity. The input should be: Path.GetExtension(file).Replace(".",string.empty) This will create a folder for each type of extension. Note that the ‘create directory’ actiity will create a folder if it doesn’t exist & if it does already exist it will simply move onto the next file in the for each
