Hi,

I've just started with Visual Cron and worked my way through it with some degree of success. Now I got stuck with probably a minor issue. However here's my problem:

I run a job that converts and uploads several files to ftp-server. The job runs once for every file and is triggered by the files copied to a certain folder on the server. After uploading the uploaded file is deleted.

Now I'd like to run a second job that checks if the folder from which I uploaded the files is empty. How can I check if a folder is empty?

Thanks for the help.

Hi jharp, welcome to the forum!

You can use a file condition which checks on *.* in your folder.

Thanks Erik,
But that would react to files which are in the folder. I need to check if a folder is empty. Or am I missing the point?

Hi,

you can use the file condition, use your folder and the *.* to check for every file, and use the file exist option.
Then is will check if there are any files present.
You can than setup the condition to continue when there is no match and to stops when there is a match.
This will result that the job/task, where you place this condition on, stops when there are files in the given folder and continues when there are no files in the folder.

Erik
