I want to synchronize files in 3 Folder.

If a file is downloaded (version change)in Folder # 1 (data been adding to it).The name of the file will remain same

  1. Robot should search for the file in Folder # 2 and replace.
  2. Robot should search for the file in Folder # 3 and replace.

Hi @Rupendankhara
we can use PATH EXISTS activity and check for the file in that folder and can replace with Copy file activity
Cheers @Rupendankhara

Will ut check for updates. Like i said it should only replace older files when the file in first folder updates

Maybe with Event Monitor you could monitor for changes in Folder #1 and according to the type of Event(new file, changed, created, deleted, etc) robot can execute other actions

General Logic could be like this

if Event in folder1 is New:
    get new FileName in folder1
    if Directory.getFiles(folder2).contains(FileName):
       Delete FileName in folder2
       Copy FileName from folder1 to folder2

Let me try and make a work flow

Add File Change Trigger Inside Monitor Events. Set ChangeType, Path and Filename to monitor
Make sure in Monitor Events block property RepeatForever is set according your needs.

9

Done, what next

10

in Event Handler block, add your actions when a new file (if conditions were met) is created/changed/deleted
Make sure you catch Filename and then make rest of your logic process.

Didn’t get you. Sorry.

  1. Create file1.txt before run
  2. Run Robot
  3. Add o change file1.txt content and save.
  4. A messagebox should appear

Yes instead of message box, i am looking to delet the old file and add the latest versions. How do i do that.

@Rupendankhara

Use Move File Activity and specify source and destination file folders.

That’s your part :slight_smile:

@Rupendankhara

In this case, use Copy File Activity to copy file from source to destination folder.

Will that replace the older file?
