How to read names of pdf's in a folder ?

[SwatiAgrawal]

Hi,

I need the bot to do following -
1. Go to folder location.
2. Open folder
3. Read names of documents/pdf's that are placed in a folder.
4. Store names of documents/pdf's in a collection.

Is that possible. Please suggest how can this be achieved ?
Placing the screenshot below for reference. I need to retrieve names of documents & place in collection.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Michael,

I am not allowed to make changes in the code as the environment I am working on is different 😞

Hi Swati,

The issue is in in this particular screenshot that you've provided:


Here you are giving the 'Exact Value' parameter as "Filterout zero value accounts.Account". This will be read as an entire text and not as a data item by Blue Prism, instead of this try to provide this value as [Filterout zero value accounts.Account] where I have removed the double quotes and an enclosing it within square brackets as it it not a text but a data item stage holding the text. This way you are referencing the 'Account' field inside the 'Filterout zero value accounts collection' which you ideally want to do.
