Posted on by marksben32

Hello,

I have a flow (retrieves email attachments and renames files) that has been working well for the past few months but all of a sudden it's giving me a "Folder doesn't exist" error as of today. I didn't make any changes to it recently so I don't know what happened.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Try the below approach:

Simply specify the current directory name and the new name for your file when renaming it.

Code:
Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''D:\\C Drive Backup\\Deenu\\Folder A_NewFolder''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> Files LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN Files Text.SplitText.SplitWithDelimiter Text: CurrentItem.FullName CustomDelimiter: $'''\\''' IsRegEx: False Result=> TextList File.RenameFiles.Rename Files: CurrentItem.FullName NewName: $'''%CurrentItem.Directory%\\%TextList[2]%''' KeepExtension: True IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing RenamedFiles=> RenamedFiles END

Please make sure textlist[0] doesn’t contain any special characters.

Meanwhile Please open the TextList variable on the below highlight panel after execution and share screenshot

Hi @marksben32 ,

Instead of spliting you can try the solution as shown below.

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards

@marksben32

I think you are trying to rename the file with folder name as textlist[0] looks like folder path only.

Configure your rename file action like below but mention TextList[1] instead of [0].

Thanks for the response. I need the split to remove part of the name after '-' so removing the splitting didn't work.

Changing TextList[0] to TextList[1] gave me an error of Index '1' is out of range.
