Loop through files in a folder in a custom order

[forumsupport]

Hello,

Above scenario will not examin every file. The 'copy file' command will copy the files modified in last 30 days into temp folder and then we are looping for each file in temp folder, which contain files modified in 30 days.

Hope this is clear.

Yes, but it will first have to loop through all files to determine if its modified within 30 days > copy to a temp folder > then preform action.

Am I missing something here? Is there somehow a method to copy all files modified less then 30 days ago at once?

Hello,


We do not need to put 'Copy Files' command inside loop to determine the modified date of each file. It is an independent command. You just have to provide source path (folder) of *.* files, the destination path and from Advanced View select the option, 'Modified in last 30 days' then you are all set. The Copy Files command, in one shot would copy only the files from source path that are modified in 30 days.

Hope this helps.
