Hii @Shiva_Nikhil ,

Sure

Example

If we have InputData FolderPath in Which

If the Files Present Have date Modified as Today’s date then they should not be moved

But incase

The Date Modified is Not Today’s (Example 3/12/2024)
Then Move to OutPut Data Folder Path

@NISHITHA

Can you try this once

System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("Provide your folder path").Where(Function(f) New System.IO.FileInfo(f).CreationTime.Date < DateTime.Today).ToArray()

Hi @NISHITHA

You can use the below expression to get the list of file paths that are not created today,

- Assign -> List_Files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("Folder Path").AsEnumerable.where(Function(X) Not(System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(X).Equals(DateTime.Now))).tolist()

→ Use For each activity to iterate through each file in List_Files.
→ Inside for each insert Move file activity to move the each file to other folder.

Check the below workflow for better understanding,

Hi,

Try as below:-

Assign currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”)

For Each file in Directory.GetFiles(InputDataFolderPath)
If File.GetLastWriteTime(file).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) <> currentDate
Move File: Source = file, Destination = OutputDataFolderPath
Else

Thanks

Yes you have to use List of String datatype to the List_Files Variable… @NISHITHA
