Hello, I have a Folder with a lot of files, I need to build a bot to:

check each file modified date, and move to a sub folder like yyyy\mm\

 

I was thinking in make a Loop for each file iin folder, and some function to read file modified date, but there is no native function to read it.

 

How can I do it?

Hi @Aldo Lanfranconi​ ,

 

Checkout below botstore bot to get 'file modified date'

 

https://botstore.automationanywhere.com/bot/file-and-folder-attributes-package/p>

Hello Chandu, on the package you mention there are 7 .JAR package files to import:

 

bot-command-browser-3.0.0-20210505-201256.jar

bot-command-file-4.0.0-20210504-152837.jar

bot-command-folder-4.0.0-20210504-152839.jar

bot-command-messagebox-3.0.0-20210504-152941.jar

bot-command-step-2.0.2-20210504-153452.jar

FileFolderAttributes-2.1.0-20211018-153636.jar

JavaFX-2.4.0-20200426-215144.jar

 

the only one it seems to be related is bot-command-file

After importing, there is no new file command action to get file modified date.

 

what am I doing wrong?

Import : FileFolderAttributes-2.1.0-20211018-153636.jar and check new actions

Excellent, It works!
