I’m reading all the files (which have same pattern inside, all text files) inside the folder with For each file in folder activity now I want to read that all file individually how can I achieve this & after reading files I extracted some data with string manipulation & stored that in 3 different variables now I want to write all this data in excel file. Can you anyone please help me with this?! I have read file but in output I just able to read last file in a iteration that’s the problem.
You can use this Statement :
Directory.GetFiles(“YourFolderPath”) in an Assign Statement.
Assign this to an Array of String Variable.
Then you can Loop through the Files using a For Each
Then i have to use for each activity only, not for each files in folder activity.
Hi @Vidhi_Patel,
please follow these steps.
1- use for each file in folder(which you are using already)
2- inside body put 3 veriables.
3- append 3 variables inside loop just after 3 Variables.
you are wriiting in excel not appending in excel that’s why you are getting last file data only
I noted down this point i’m writing i excel not appending but before writing i have to read multiple files how can i achieve that. First i’m reading files with read text activity then extracting it in variables using assign then again writing a text file then generating datatable using generate data table then writing excel(will append excel).
Balareva.ZipUnzip.UnZipFile for unzipping files . i have extracted .rar files successfully in my workflow. do you want me share a whole project?
@Vidhi_Patel so after extraction
get all files through and inside loop perform all steps. where is problem?
In assigning value of variables which are using string manipulation so when i write file I’m not able to get all the account no, amount and reference no in a one text file. so i couldn’t make generate datatable and so the data of excel file .
put all this file in a folder(named challange3)then run.

nope,just getting value from the last file of iteration because in assign we have string variable and i want list of string or array of strings because i need same info from all the files.
just 2,3 sample
Remove build datatable if you found it in a workflow.
goal is to put data into excel file but i don’t have Microsoft excel installed on my machine so create a approach like first extracting information from the file and storing in to variable now i want to write all the values of variable in the a text file and generating datatable then using datatable to write it in an excel file. let me know if you know another approach.
