Consider a command in the task – “Loop for Folders in a “. Here the is the specified folder on which the Loop is going to be executed. Its full path is available at execution time by the System Variable “$CurrentDirectory$” If ‘n’ is the number of folders in the specified folders, the loop will be executed ‘n’ times. Each time the $FolderName$ variable will have the next folder’s name inside the specified folder. Now if the task is like “Loop for Files in a “. Then $FileName$ will represent the next file’s name inside the specified folder. Outside the loop $CurrentDirectory$, $FolderName$ and $FileName$ will have no data in them.
