Copy Control Room file action

The Copy Control Room file action in the File package enables you to copy a Control Room file to a specific location.

Settings

  • In the Control Room file field, specify the file to copy. Select one of the following options to copy a file from the Control Room repository:
    • Static file path: Enables you to browse the Control Room repository and select the file. Use this option when the file path is static.
      Note: When you browse the Control Room repository using Static file path, files with the .bot extension are not displayed.
    • Dynamic file path: Enables you to browse the Control Room repository and select the file. In addition, it also enables you to insert variables in a file path to copy a file from the Control Room repository where the file path is dynamic. You can insert a variable that holds the entire file path or part of the file path.

      For example, C:\user\My Docs\test.csv or C:\user\My Docs\$fileName$

  • In the Target file path field, specify the path to the location where you want to save the file. You can insert a variable that holds the entire file path or part of the file path.
    For example, C:\user\My Docs\test.csv or C:\user\My Docs\$fileName$
    Note: If the folder structure does not exist, the bot creates all the folders as needed.
  • Select True or False, or insert a Boolean variable to specify whether to overwrite the existing file.
