Update Directory input path in Workflow

[christian3nc]

Hello!

I'm trying to copy files from one folder to another using a path designated in an input file (sample attached).

The "File Copy Move" macro works, but it needs the fullpath of each file to work. A directory tool gives the full path, but I'm not able to pass an input value to it from a Select tool.

Is there another way to do this? 

Goal:

1. User inputs folder path where input file is at with the Text Input interface

2. Workflow gets the filepath within the input file

3. Workflow copies files from the path in the input file to the folder path designated in Step 1

Figured it out! Found a post on creating a macro with the Control Parameter tool that worked.

I made this macro, inserted where the 2nd directory tool was, and it worked as expected.
