¶ Files In Folder
This looping task allows you to select a folder and iterate through every item within it, providing you with the capability to automate repetitive actions and streamline your workflow.
Folder path is required.
You can select a folder for the looping task by either pressing a button or manually entering its path. Additionally, you can choose a search pattern to specify the type of files you want to loop through. The search pattern must contain a wildcard symbol, represented by a star, to allow you to target specific files within the folder.
You also have the option to include or exclude files and folders in the looping process.
