You can also send the full path (coming from Directory.GetFiles) or the For Each file in Folder, into a “Start Process” activity, that should act the same way as if you manually double click on it.

Option 1:

  • Using Directory.GetFiles, to save the filepaths of the files inside my directory into an array of strings, then inside the foreach opening them one by one

Directory.GetFiles(“Your folder path as string goes here”)

Option 2:

  • Using as you have, the For Each file in folder, yet with a small modification to obtain the full path:
  • Start Process text =

Path.Combine(CurrentFile.Directory.ToString,CurrentFile.FullName)

Both methods will have as a result, all the files in the folder opened.

that’s great. If i need to open one file. Save close. Then open the second file? What should i do?

after the Start Process activity, you can add your “Use Application” scope, move inside all the actions to be done, including the saving, and closing it inside the same for each, to have it ready for the next file
