Hi All,
We are new working with Automize tool but we are exited about it!

I search in the Forum and did not find anything related to my concern.

Basically, the question is:

We have some VBscripts that monitor different things. Often in them we have a Logic like "For Each Item in My ItemCollection" copy file(s) or delete file(s)...
where ItemCollection is an Array of "Folders" or names which are part of the path to a folder, but not every subfolder of the directory is in the Array, only a selection declared before in the script.

How could we replace this with few Tasks (1 for entering selected folders + 1 for copying or deleting files) and a sequence in Automize??

I think we would have to use some Variables for these Paths names or selection of folders or whats the best way to Achieve this?

Thanks for your help!

You can try this:
1) Run a Subdirectory Loop task. For every subdirectory found, there are different variables like CurrentSubdirectoryPath or SubdirectoryName etc.
2) From this subdirectory loop task, run a CSV loop task which holds your array of folders (one per line in a text file).
3) The CSV loop task will put each line into a variable (run it once and it will show you the variables)
4) From the CSV loop task, run a Variable monitor task. In the variable monitor task, compare the subdirectory loop task variable and CSV loop task variable.
5) If the variables match, run the copy/delete task etc.. and pass the desired variables.

Hi,
Could you extend your explanation of points 2 and 3?
thanks

1) create a text file which contains your list. one folder path per line.
2) create a CSV loop task (tasktitle = csvloop) against this text file
3) create a subdirectory loop task.
Task to run = csvloop

run the subdirectory loop task.. then look at the logs, variables etc... that's the best way to figure out things.
