Hi,

We need to create about 10 sibling-folders in a folder (e.g. under C:\Test\ we need folders called: T1, T2 .. T10). Can we do this in one task? or do we need to add 10 separate tasks for this. Please note that all these folder need to be created in the C:\Test\ folder i.e. they have to be created at sibling-level (not at child-levels i.e. sub-folders within sub-folder).

Also, the Copy File task allows us to add multiple copy commands within the same Task, is it possible with the Create Folder task?

Thanks in advance.
Eddie

Hi

If the name on the folders are constant.
I'd create a job variable containing a list of the folder names you want.

Then create a "Create folder" task, have it in a loop using the job variable.
And just create the structure you need from the values in the list.

Thanks for your response, I did as you suggested but it only creates the First folder, what I did is:

• I created a Job-Variable containing 3 strings (dir1, dir2, and dir3) separated by New-line char
  
• I am using For-Each loop construct, which has above Job-variable as Collection/Array, e.g. {JOB(Active|Variable|DIR_STRUCTURE)}
  
• In the "Create Folder" task I'm using path\{LOOP(CurrentValueX)}
  

This only creates the First folder from the list, i.e. only "dir1" gets created (but "dir2" and "dir3" are not being created).
What am I doing wrong please?



Changing "Field Separator" didn't make any difference.

Also, the Loop - Documentation  is not verbose (didn't help).

Hi

That setup should, I tried it my self and it worked.

It created one (1) folder for you, you said.
As a test, in the job variable, instead of new line, separate each value with comma.
And then in the loop change field separator to comma and give it a try.

It's working now 😁

Sorry, my bad, under the "Flow" tab, I had "Stop" selected for "On success" (lesson learnt copy-paste code/Task is a bad habit 😢 )

Thanks very much for your time, really appreciate it.

Cheers.
