Directory tool help needed

EN6924
10 - Fireball

Hi All,

 

'Directory' tool return a list of all the files stored in a specified directory.

But in our case, the files are stored in a Shared drive. \\<Servername>\Path\

 

How can I list the details of the files from the Shared path?

 

Need help.

Are you getting an error when you use a Directory that begins with    \\   ?

 

My Directory tool works ok, even when the folder path starts with    \\    and includes spaces in some of the folder names.

Hi ChrisTX

 

Yesterday it was not working for me but today when I re-checked it worked smoothly.
