Blueprism delete files in a date range

AjithranBalasub — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 03:29:00 GMT

Hi,

I know you can use utility management to delete files, but I want to delete files within the range they created. Example I only want to delete files that are created in between October 1 to November 30 in a folder. How to do this?

Thanks

Get FileInfo in Utility - File Management VBO returns CreationTime.

Hi @Ajithran Balasubramanian

You can use Utility - File Management VBO in that output you can get Created time by that you can filter date for your range, or you can loop files which satisfies range and delete file.

Thanks,
Soumya

Is it like this?

[Files.Path] (text) full path of file
[Files.Created] (date) file created date
