I need to create a list of file names from a directory on a windows server. I'm trying to do this through Power Automate Desktop. AI instructions tells me to use Get File Name. I don't find that function in the Desktop. Can someone advise me as to how to get the file names.

Thanks

Hi,

Try like this

Here it will get list of files from a folder which contains list of file object- each file object has details of file - including its file name, so to specifically store the file name- create a seperate list and append the file name to that.

You can paste the below code to get sample flow

SET FileNames TO [] Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''D:\\Temp\\CustomActions''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> Files2 LOOP FOREACH File IN Files2 SET FileNames TO FileNames + File.Name END

Hope it helps!

I'm not getting just the file name, I'm getting the path and the file name. He is my process with the results.
