Determining the name of a single file

Post by Barb_Texas »

I am trying to query to find out the file name that has been unzipped. We do it now from a file list, but I would like to query a directory that I know only has one file in it, for the file name.

In a list, we use the function Set Variable and assign the variable the results.
variable = ${ScanFile:name}
Where ScanFile is the current item variable.

I can only see how that is done in a LIST.
How can I assign a variable a file name if it is not being processed through a list?
Thank you,
B Smith

Barb,

You can get access to file information outside of a ForEach list (like you're indicating) by utilizing the "FileInfo" function.

Go into the Wizard for the assignment of a variable, then in the middle column, select "FileInfo" then utilize that to retrieve any information about a file provided as a "string" variable a input to the function.

This should give you what you're looking for.
