Issue while extracting the file from a particular folder in PAD

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I am facing issue while extracting the file from a folder in PAD. Bot is extracting the correct file location string from backend and search for the same in folder but it throws an error that "File path doesn't exist" although manually I am able to search the file with same location string. 

Please assist me with this.

 

Thankyou!

    Any % signs?  If so, double them up to %%.

     

    you can also try “Escape Text” first and then use the new variable created. 

    another issue might be mapped network drive vs the actual network name, so try both. 

    best of luck!
