@_Rinkashime,

1. Use For Each File in Folder Activity: This activity allows you to loop through each file in a specified folder.

2. Use Rename File Activity: Within the loop, use the Rename File activity to rename the file as per your requirements.

Welcome to the community

Yes you can do in one

1. Use for each file in folder
2. Use a switch case or if else condition to check the extension currentfile.Extension.contains("pdf") …similarly for other file types
3. Now inside each condition use a rename file activity specific to that extension

Hi @_Rinkashime

Use For each file in folder activity to loop through all the files in the folder.

Then use if condition or switch activity to sort three extensions using currentfile.Extension.contains("pdf") … similarly for others.

Use rename file activity to rename the file name as per required.

Thanks!!

I have a follow up question, I want to remove the currentFile name the one highlighted and rename it new, what kind of approach do I need to do ?

I try removing the CurrentFile. Name but its stop running.

You can refer the same code only. You can give any new name. In my code - i have appended the existing code. Remove that part and the result will match your expectation
