Renaming bulky files and move to another folder

Hi, I am facing an issue, where I have multiple file in a folder and I want to use timestamp and move to another folder.
I have applied the approach where I give the source folder name and the use the timestap with the destination folder path with giving 1 sec delay is not working. Only it rename the first file when it loop for second file it say file is already exisiting.

fine
kindly follow the below steps that culd help you buddy
–use a assign activity like this
out_filepath = Directory.Getfiles(“yourfolderpath”,“*.yourfileextension”)
or
out_filepath = Directory.Getfiles(“yourfolderpath”)
where out_filepath is a variable of type array string @balkishan
–then use a for each loop and pass the above variable as input and change the type argument as string
–then inside the loop use a move file activity

“the folderpath you want”+“\”+“yourfilename”+“_”+now.tostring(“dd_MM_yy_hh_mm_ss_tt”)+“.fileextension”

or you can try this as well to include the string
now.ToString(“yyyyMMddHHmmss”)

Already given the timestamp bro.

Fine add a delay next to move file activity buddy
but usually without delay itself that should work…i think your machine is very fast…:slight_smile:fine
include a delay with value like 00:00:05

still i get the same error only buddy
think there is some issue with my studio
no worries whatever may be we need to mention like this move file destination property
now.ToString(“dd_MM_yyyy_hh_mm_ss_tt”) \as mentioned earlier
may be in addition and to safer side add a delay activity next to the move file activity with a time stamp like this
00:00:05

this would work for sure buddy
