Sorry, I am completely stuck again, and don't even know if my task will be possible. Have tried to explain a bit better below.
So I have one workflow with a condition which creates two paths. Path “A” works but I have problems with Path “B”. I will explain below
A1 – The incoming video is checked for certain criteria, the condition is met = node outcome is success
A2 – I have an executable that takes my incoming file and dashes it by command line. The executable creates a folder in the same as the source with the dashed content. The folder created by the executable has got the same name as the input video file.
A3 – I would like to move this folder to a location set earlier by a variable (%s_output%. I got this to work by using the following code: %comspec% /c "move "%s_original_drive%/%s_original_folder%/%s_original_name%" "%s_output%/%s_original_name%""
A4 – I move the original file to an archive, this works just fine.
All of the “A” workflow is functioning perfectly, the problem is when I add the transcoding!
B1 – Incoming video does not match criteria, the node is failing and sending to H.264 transcoding
B2 – While ffastrans is transcoding a temporary workfolder as well as file name is created
B3 – The executable Is working fine when using variable %s_source% in the commend line. It picks it up from the workfolder as expected. The problem is that the executable creates a folder with the dashed files in the temporary workfolder, and the name of that folder is the same as input file which means it is a GUID.
B4 – I don’t know how to move this folder in the temp, I can’t find it with code. Tried the following which obviously doesn’t work as it is looking at the original file name which is replaced by a GUID.
%comspec% /c "move "%s_job_work%/%s_original_name%" "%s_output%/%s_original_name%""
I have also tried the following which I hoped would work in both scenario A&B but still have the problem to pick up the folder with the GUID name
%comspec% /c "move "%s_source_dir%/% s_original_name%" "%s_output%/%s_original_name%""
I don't know if this is even possible but would like to ask for help again. Thanks in advance for any input!!!

Hey rholm,
it would be good if you upload your workflow xml. Also, just using %s_source% should do it. Is it possible that you just don't know that the %s_source% variable changes after each processor which created a new file? Explained here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=849#p3550
cheers!
