Output many file paths to directory

wonka1234

Hi,

 

Say I have this as an input to my output tool

 

Output_file_path
C:/Users/Louis/Cool_email_1.msg
C:/Users/Louis/Cool_email_2.msg
C:/Users/Louis/Cool_email_3.msg

 

how can I mass output these files from this location to a new location?

 

Thanks.

Hi @wonka1234 ,

are you specifically trying to use reporting tools for output into msg files or you just need your raw data in the specific format?

Created a slightly dummy sample but very straight forward.

 

You can use the same approach to cast records to separate folders.

 

This batch macro is using one input as parameter for the file name and the other one (same data) to group the records into batches. Guess could be a more elegant solution, but this one works and is intuitive to understand.

Happy solving,

you could also use the output tool in a regular workflow (not in the macro) and set get file path from field
