How to move files from source to destination folder in Blueprism

Answer 1

Try this approach. It creates a new folder in the destination with the same name as the source folder, copies its contents, and deletes the source folder (essentially the same thing as moving it). The inputs remain Folder_Path and Destination.

Success = True
Message = "" 

Try
    If Not Folder_Path.EndsWith("\") Then
        Folder_Path &= "\"
    End If

    Dim newDirectory As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(Destination, Path.GetFileName(Path.GetDirectoryName(Folder_Path)))
    If Not (Directory.Exists(newDirectory)) Then
        Directory.CreateDirectory(newDirectory)
    End If
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(Folder_Path, newDirectory)
    System.IO.Directory.Delete(Folder_Path, True)

Catch e As Exception
    Success = False
    Message = e.Message
End Try

Ensure that you include the System.IO namespace in the Code Options of your object. The Code Options can be found by double-clicking the description box on the Initialize Page/Action and choosing the appropriate tab.
