The challenge for me is how to move the value from one array to another array in the loop.

Hi @Michael_zhao

1st of all array is a collection and is of static size so you should use List<> instead of Array for moving the items.

And also you can do many operations on List same as Array.

Below is the Workflow for moving Array Items to List :-

thanks a lot.

By the way, could you please let me know how to clear the list and how to check if it is empty?
assign nothing to list can clear it?
using if the list is nothing can know if it is empty, right ?

thanks very much .

You could use following expression to get just files over 1MB

FileCol = Directory.GetFiles(FilePath,".",SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(Function(x) (New FileInfo(x)).Length > 1024000).ToArray

Hi @Michael_zhao

Der is Clear Collection Activity to clear the List

If you want to check If List is empty or not then below is the condition for the same you can put in IF Activity :-

listOfFiles.Count=-1
