User needs to get a list of subfolders with directory. Then for each subfolder , a directory loop task is run to get the first filename. Then a copy task is run to copy the first file to another folder.

Script is listed below. Change the source directory from "c:\\test" to your required directory. Test it and provide feedback. Some tweaking may be needed.

import com.hitek.engine.mods.script.Script;

// define a vector (basically an array) to hold the list of subfolders
Vector folderList = new Vector();

// this function recursively gets the list of folders and adds them to the folderList vector
void listFolders(File root)
{
if (root != null && root.isDirectory())
{
final File[] contents = root.listFiles();
for (int k = 0; k < contents.length; k++)
{
if (contents[k].isDirectory())
{
folderList.add(contents[k]); //add folder to list
listFolders(contents[k]); //list directory again
}
}
}
}

//call the function to get the list in c:\test folder
//the listFolders(dir) call will fill the folderList vector with File objects corresponding to every subfolder
File dir = new File("c:\\test");
listFolders(dir);

// now for each folder, dynamically set the folderPath in the Directory Loop task and run the task
// lets assume your Directory Loop task title = dirLoop
// lets assume your Copy task title = copy

for (int i=0;i<folderList.size();i++)
{
String folderPath = folderList.get(i).getPath();
System.out.println("Folder = " + folderPath);

//now set the source folder in the dirLoop and copy tasks
//look at the task properties file in the Automize7\data\tasks folder using wordpad

//the parameter for the directory loop task source folder is Task.PARAMETERS1
Script.setPar("dirLoop", "Task.PARAMETERS1", folderPath);

//the parameter for the copy task source folder is also Task.PARAMETERS1
Script.setPar("copy", "Task.PARAMETERS1", folderPath);

// run the dirLoop task which in turn will call the copy task in the Task To Run field.
// exit code = 0 or -100 means successfull.
int exitCode = Script.run( "dirLoop" );
System.out.println("Exit code = " + Integer.toString(exitCode));
