Hey

I Need to delete a folder where the first 5 char is the same as my context variable. In this case my context variable is FlaVa.

Now ist only going to delete the folder if the Name of the folder is exactly FlaVa "C:/Users/FreJe/Desktop/UserDelete/Profile/FlaVa"
I need to rebuild the job so that it also delete folder that starts with FlaVa or where FlaVa is written without capital letters. This examples under should also be deleted.
"C:/Users/FreJe/Desktop/UserDelete/Profile5/FlaVa.V2"
"C:/Users/FreJe/Desktop/UserDelete/Profile5/FlaVaNewFolder"
"C:/Users/FreJe/Desktop/UserDelete/Profile5/flava"



How can i do this?

Hi,
Have you tried to use tfilelist component to achieve your goal?
The work flow look like:tfilelist-->tfiledelete
