Unable to read file

Hi All,

Getting this error when trying to read a simple text file. Can anyone assist:

Hi,

It says there is no txt file in this path “C:\UiPath\UiPath.txt”

There is a text file in the directory. I am able to open the file locally.

Hello,

Quite basic but I have to ask if you closed your text file before launching your process. Did you double-check the path for typo (copy paste the path in error into your explorer and try to open the file that way)? Did you check the “access rights” to the folder and the file?
