Surajnair

Hi Team,

 

I want to create dynamic new folder by name '2.Output'

Workflow is basically analytic app, if user is entering folder directory in textbox then first it should check whether if folder 2.Output exist in directory.

If not exist then folder should be created and then output file should be placed in that folder.

 

Please help me out.

PFA WF.

As @stataltgee said, your best option is to use the Folder Browse tool from the "Interface" section of the Tool Palette. If the folder doesn't exist, you can also always use the Run Command tool to create the folder. You'd essentially feed it a .bat file, at which point the folder would be created.
