Organize Recently Downloaded Files

[verdonej (Joey Verdone)]

Hello,

I am struggling to find a solution for organizing recently downloaded files.

My bot is operating to export files from a web application. The bot is able to access these files by entering a unique numeric ID code.

The issue I am having is that the file names are all the same regardless of the ID code. Is there a simple way to take “recent downloads files 1-3” and move them to a folder with a specific name or File Path?

I have tried to manually replicate with recordings but often run into errors.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

How to sort directory files using last modified date and name

Dear All, I’ve a requirement to sort the files which are in directory using files’ last modified date as one list and sorting files using file names as another list. I tried to use GetFiels.OrderBy( function(x) x.ModifiedDate) but i’m getting error. Kindly help me in this case.

Have a look at this. You can sort the downloads folder by modified time and then grab the top 3 or however many you need.

The code for the same is as follow: last_mod_files = directory.GetFiles("*AHS Roster.xlsx").Where(function(file) file.LastWriteTime.Date= DateTime.Now.Date).OrderByDesce…

Additionally, I also found a UiGo! component which helps you to extract latest files in a folder.
