You are missing \ when concenating paths.

Do you have some error that program is giving ?

Fine
–initially use a assign activity like this
in_filepath = “yourfolderpath”+""+now.tostring(“dd_MM_yy”)
where in_filepath is a string variable
–then use a create directory activity and pass the above variable as input in the path property
–now in the move file activity use the same variable as destination

the reason why we use a variable is to make it robust

Hello @Jesmine

I guess you aware of create directory activity.

Inside that you can pass expression as below

Todayfolder = "c:\user\uipath" +date. Now. Tostring(“ddMMyyyy”)

Here date format Should not contain “/” or" "
Like dd/mm/yyyy

After you can give the same path will moving the file

This folder created by today’s date. I want to add the file name also.
in_filepath = “yourfolderpath”+"NewFolder"+now.tostring(“dd_MM_yy”)

yah in copy file activity we need to pass the file path and not the folder
i hope W_FolderPath has the path alone
kindly concatenate with any filename like this
W_FolderPath+“\”+“yourfilename”

Cheers @Jesmine
