Hi there!

 

As what usually happens, I saw I needed a file, found a place to get said file, got overwhelmed by the so many different files doing the same thing, found someone who said "You can do it yourself if you..." and then lost the past 2 days learning a whole new system I've never used before to make a system that could've been downloaded in 5 minutes XD

 

So far, me making this system is going amazingly! I am currently in the De-Bugging phase of a pretty much finished product. The problem I'm having is as follows. I have a "Get files in folder" function which for scale is basically checking whole drives. What I want it to then do is take the names of the files (example image.png), remove duplicates, find out what the differences is (i.e. find similarities) and delete the copies.

 

The part I am stuck on is copying the list parameters to compare. I had before "Assign to variable B the value A" which, as you can expect spat out the full extensions (for example C:\...\image.png).

As you can see from the image above, the property ".Name" provides exactly what I am looking for. I tried clicking the little button next to the text feild to automatically add this in for me but it wouldn't show. So I forced it, changing it to "Assign to variable B the value A.Name"

However, as you can see in the above image, this also didn't work, claiming to not have a property "Name" despite showing it does in the first screenshot. Is this caused because the variable in question (A) is a Flow variable? Is this whats causing me to not be able to use A.Name?

 

Thanks for your contributions!

    Hi @Phed_Phoenix ,

     

    You have used the Property bit wrong.

    Please use the Property as shown here:

    FirstFiles[0].Name

     

    As FirstFiles variable data type is list you need to write it as above.

    It will solve your issue.

     

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

     

    Thanks & Regards

    Vishnu Reddy

    You are targeting a list of files and trying to use a property that only applies to a variable of type "File". You should build a loop instead and have a variable with a single file selected. If, for instance, you use a For each loop on %FirstFiles%, it will create a %CurrentItem% variable for you, which will hold a single file for each iteration. You can then use %CurrentItem.Name%.

     

    Alternatively, if you use a simple Loop action, it will generate a %LoopIndex% for you, and then you can do %FirstFiles[LoopIndex].Name%.
