1. Create an archive for the folder that you are going to look in. Navigate to the Archives tab of the Project Properties by right clicking the project and selecting Properties > Archives. In this example the source folder is: C:\\Minisoft\\eFORMz_6\\output\\TestResults<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a file qualifier variable to if you want to search for specific files. Example: Sample-*.xml<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Create a variable for each piece of file information you need. Example: FileName<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Create a procedure to call the File List function. Use variable is N\/A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Select File List from the list of actions and configure as such:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. Archive<\/strong> -> Select the archive you created in step 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. Folder<\/strong> -> This can be blank. If you need to go one level down from the archive path, you would add the additional folder path(s) here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. Qualifier<\/strong> -> This can be blank. It will return all of the files in the archive(\/\/Folder) path. You can add the qualifier that you created in step 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d. Search Operation<\/strong> -> This defaults to Files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

e. Sort Operation<\/strong> -> This defaults to No Sort. Configuration is available for sorting by file meta data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

f. File Information<\/strong> -> Click New to create a new mapping. File list can have one to many attributes. If multiple files are returned, the mapped variables will display as arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select Attribute<\/strong><\/em> -> Defaults to file name. Example: Sample-1.xml<\/code>. Absolute Name<\/em> will return the file name and its complete path in the system. Example: c:\\Minisoft\\eFORMz_6\\output\\TestResults\\Sample-1.xml<\/code>. Relative Name<\/em> will return the file name and any path added to the base archive path. Example: If the archive path was c:\\Minisoft\\eFORMz_6\\output\\<\/code> and the user added a folder variable of TestResults the Relative path would come back as TestResults\\Sample-1.xml<\/code>. If no folder variable was added this returns the base file name. Extension<\/em> will return just the file name extension. Last modified timestamp<\/em> will return the last modified timestamp. Type<\/em> will return what the return value is, such as the file or the folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Variable<\/strong><\/em> to place the incoming data. If multiple files are return the mapped variables will display as arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

g. Click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once configured correctly the mapped variables will display the list of attributes you have selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
