    Hi Bouzouki,

     

    The syntax for your concatenation looks correct and verified on my machine. I know it seems obvious, but in the error message screenshots there is an extra directory that is missing between the 2, 'MSS'. 

    If this is supplied do you still see the same error with locating the file?

Finally. I got a chance to look at this again.

What I am showing in this screen shot is that I have a variable called fileListPath

I am hard coding the path, and the following if block is able to find the file and verify that it exists.

in the Watch List, I show the values of the suite variable, as well as the fileListPath variable.

It works and finds the file.

 



In this attempt I concatenate the suite variable to fileslist.txt 

It doesn't find the file and fails, although the Watch List shows what appears to be the same values



I am assuming that I need to do something to the variable when I am concatenation. Is this enough for an expert to see why it is failing?

 

// Batch File command
TestComplete.exe "C:\dev\TestComplete\PDFCompare_DiffPdf\PDFCompare_DiffPdf.pjs" /r /p:PDFCompare_DiffPdf /psv:p_FilesStoreDirectory="I:\QC\3E Optimize\707\" /psv:p_FilesNewDirectory="I:\QC\3E Optimize\2021\mss\"
