Opening or selecting a file only using name

Hii
Can we open a file or folder using only its name without using file path…please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hi @Newton_Rich_SV

This is only valid if you have this file inside your project directory. this way you can open or save any file or folder using only its name.

Hi @Newton_Rich_SV

Here is a zip containing a project to open both a file and a folder suing only their names :slightly_smiling_face:

OpenFileByName.zip (10.0 KB)

Hi @Newton_Rich_SV . Please try to update your packages on Manage Packages option.

Try to update the packages from manage packages like the image below :

itz working reda…reg my previous doubt, can we get all the file name or its path from all drive in PC and paste it in a single excel or single notepad. Please help me with this

if you want to get every file in your hard disk use this :

Files = Directory.getfiles(“C:\”,“*”,searchoption.AllDirectories)

you must be admin and have permission to access on all your files
