Posted on by manu78m 2

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm trying to build a flow which aims to:

1/ retried a file from a folder. This file is renamed every day but the path of the folder never change. The name is BASE CUMULEE 19-06-2022

2/ remove this fil to another destination, the path will never change.

3/ rename this file to always keep the same file 

 

Do you have any tips to make it happen ?

    Some complementary information:

    The file I have to retrieve is located on my PC and have to be moved to my PC as well in another folder so it's a desktop flow
