After its completion the Copy File Action retains some of its operational data such as the full path and filenames of copied files both before and after file copying has been completed as well as the number of copied files and completion status of the file copying procedure.
These dynamic data on file copying can be retrieved by the means of Variable Wizard and used for automatic ad-hoc configuration of the next Actions, thus streamlining automatic file copying into the wider context of the Task.
| Variable | Details |
|---|---|
| Last destination file | The full path and name of the last file created during file copying process.
Example:
|
| Last source file | The original full path and name of the last file copied.
Example:
|
| List of destination files | The list of files created during file copying.
Example:
|
| List of source files | The list of original files (with full path) that were copied during file copying process.
Example:
|
| List of source, destination files | The list containing both locations and names of original files and those of their copies.
Example:
|
| Number of copied files | The total number of files that were copied.
Example:
|
| Completion status | Retrieve Action execution status with a possible value—Successful or Failed. Or Empty, if Action has not been executed yet. |
| Adjust() | Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name. |
Automatic list processing…
The Copy File variables returned as lists (even multi-level) can be automatically processed in further Actions. Use the For Each Action to parse a given text string (any list variable) and sequentially retrieve its elements one by one · see list processing examples. Or, use the Split Text and Lookup Text Actions to access list elements by their indices.
