Open files from copied path

Hi, I have an issue. I need to copy a default powerpoint slide in my file explorer, rename the file and open the file, (in this order). I cant seem to open the folder through 'Run Application' as it does not detect RenamedFiles as a file which can be opened. Hope there is a solution to this. Thanks 🙂

    Have you tried %RenamedFiles[0]% or %RenamedFiles[1]%?
