Loop through folder with sub-folders and upload all files - How to

[nadim.warsi]

One second, is out_List of file an argument type or variable type?
In Locals you cant see the value of arguments

Yeah , i did some changes wait a min i will share the screen shot…

[nadim.warsi]

Sure,
Just tested on my local and here is what the next workflow start state looks like:

[Seem (S A)]

I added one more local variable and passed it to the edit Arguments
The variable name is - out_listofFiles_variable

Now i am able to see that there is no null , rather its holding the values

Now i am bale to invoke the workflow file

Great

One thing, I dont think you will require out_ListofFiles in that case just one local variable should do the job in your case out_ListofFiles_variable

then it will open all the files from the path we send.
Then we have to click on - Open

As below
In my application i have to click on - Add

Add opens the following window…

so now i have to click on each folder , which r present inside the Unzip , as in above screenshot.

Main thing is how shall i open all these files from the - argument ???
Can you please help me out with this…

In the next workflow are you doing a for each?

doing this will let you put each path in add option text box.

there use item

@nadim.warsi

But if i add the For each - to loop through all the files then every time i should not allow the window to open.

I mean i have to add all the files to the to the -" open window " and then the Open should be clicked as below:

I did it as per your suggestion…
here is the screen shot

from this loop its taking only one file and adding it to the pdfsam as below:

then it will stop running

@nadim.warsi

i also tried other way.
Where i had add only “Type into” activity as in the following in for each loop

here in the out put in -type into activity it typed all the file names and it showed only one last file …

and took out the - open and kept it in the other attach window

Please help me out with this issue…

[Seem (S A)]

@nadim.warsi

Sure , please find the .xaml files.
pdfMerge -17-10-18.xaml (23.0 KB)

Emails 15-10-18.xaml (18.1 KB)

also i am attaching the screenshots of the - Pdfmerge.

One small twist.

You need to add the files which are all there using add, then type-into then click Ok.
Repeat if for all the files you have in the list and then you click on merge

This way you will have all you files and then you merge them.

So, just move the add button into the for, after that the type-into and then Ok.
Hence all files are added

Then click on merge

[nadim.warsi]

I have edit the logic as you were using different attach windows all the time whereas we can do like above.
Have a look

pdfMerge -17-10-18.xaml (20.6 KB)(if this opens for you)

Your Email workflow looks good

@nadim.warsi

Thanks for the screen shot again.
I did the same

But i am getting error:

[nadim.warsi]

OK , got it
Can you use a attach window for the Add button,
Just indicate the main window and you should be good.

[Seem (S A)]
