-The Get Files operation is most often used in conjunction with the Bizweaver “looping” function. In this process, the Get Files step creates a list of files, which is the input to the looping process. Whatever actions are needed are defined between the Loop and LoopEnd steps. These actions are performed for each file in the Get Files list. See the “Bizweaver – Looping Tool” document for more information on this process. The advantage of using this approach is that there is no need to use other tools to determine if files exist. If no files are found for processing, the workflow will simply end.+The Get Files operation is most often used in conjunction with the Bizweaver “looping” function.

In the following examples the file being addressed is named “FileName.txt” and it is found in the folder “C:\SourceFolder”. There are several variables from the File Operations function that can be used in other workflow steps.
