How to get filename with path after renaming it with groovy?

Hi,

with groovy i can rename a file with:

def filex = new File("C:\\temp\\test.txt").renameTo(new File("C:\\temp\\test"+(sdf.format(date))+".txt"))

now i want to know the file name newly renamed.

I tried this:

log.info filex

it returns true

 

i tried

log.info filesx.toString()

it returns true

 

The goal is to set custom property with the path and the the name of the newly renamed file.

like: C:\\temp\\test-03-12-2021_08_48_20.txt

 

Thank you for having a look

    Hi _ivanovich_ 

     

    In case you still want to know, the command you were looking for is:

     

    log.info filex.getName()

     

    I use to concatenate path, current date, file name and extension to get the full path.
    So I can retreive any fo those information ğŸ˜‰

     

    Have a nice day.

    Problem resolved by setting property dynamically a value with renaming process.
