hi Chronies,


How do i create a new folder with the same name as the file that file triggered the creation of the new folder?

Eg new_test_1.txt is the file that triggered the creation of the new folder

and i want that folder to be called new_test_1 with the .txt removed

Use the Create folder Task.

In the path, for the folder you want to create you first write the base bath (where your folder should exist), like:

c:\test

Then we add on the name Variable from the Trigger:

c:\test\{TRIGGER(Active|LastTrigger|File.Result.Name)}

Now, we want to wash out the extension, and I assume you know the extension so:

c:\test\{STRING(Replace|{TRIGGER(Active|LastTrigger|File.Result.Name)}|.pdf|)}

Replace .pdf with the extension you want to replace.

Wow, it works 🙂 Thanks! but..


not sure what you meant by

"Now, we want to wash out the extension, and I assume you know the extension so:

c:\test\{STRING(Replace|{TRIGGER(Active|LastTrigger|File.Result.Name)}|.pdf|)}

Replace .pdf with the extension you want to replace."


So now i have a folder called new_text_document.txt

but i want a folder called new_text_document

do i have to create a seperate job to do this?

In your case it seems you want to use a .txt document as base. Then use txt in the replace function:

c:\test\{STRING(Replace|{TRIGGER(Active|LastTrigger|File.Result.Name)}|.txt|)}

Hurrah for Henrik the Hero! 🙂
