How can I create a directory for output?

The files are in FolderA
I grab them process them, create FolderB, then publish excel to it?

Is there a way to also Move files from FolderA to the new FolderB

Thanks!

I dont think there is a make directory command.
But you can move files with the moveFile command, but that will only work when det destination folder exist.

Have a look at the Output BRD node. You have an option to create a directory if it doesn’t exist. You can write out some dummy brd file just to create the directory you need and delete the file immediately after with deleteFile() in a clocked filter node.

ok, but the next problem is passing in the folder name?

I need to
put files in a source folder: done
read file names: done
load files from filename list: done

create directory bases on filename list (one field in my single data row is the partial output name) [This thread]
export excel based on the above named [Another thread]


I dont want to have 20 global parameters that need to be changed every time i run this.
