Try Catch_file already exists

Hi All, I am using ‘Move File’ activity to move a number of files from one folder to another. I am getting an exception that if the file already exists that the file can not be moved. What I want to do is to save the new same name file as XXX_backup (the existing file name is XXX). Can anyone know how to do it? Should I use Try catch Activity as I have another condition to “move file”, which is file containing (xlsx, xls, csv). Thx

check above as reference

Hi @Stef_99

Hope it helps!!

@pravallikapaluri I have 2 try catch ( main try catch and sub try catch)

If not found file abc.xlsx in sub try I want return value abc.xlsx to catch main for send mail not found file abc.xlsx

How to pass value?

Do you perform any other processing in the outer T/C?
If not you can send email from the inner T/C and avoid the outer one.

How about defining a variable for that?

@J0ska In try sub process I have variable boo_exit = True or False
If false I want pass file that not found to catch main flow for send mail and another process.

[J0ska]

Define another variable and store not found file name into that.
That is not a rocket science…

@J0ska How to edit code?

Can you suggest me?

[J0ska]

Personally I wold use the following approach:
1/ Store name of file to be checked in variable (e.g. FileNameVariable)
2/ If not found (boo_exit = False) use that variable in catch main flow for send mail and another process.
