Hello my friends, how are you?

Thanks again. You already helped me once and now I need one last bit of help to finish my work.

With the help of a friend here, I finished a flow within Power Automate that talks to Microsoft Lists and Microsoft Sharepoint.

Now, I've reached the final part, where the flow takes the contents of the attachment (or attachments) that the user includes when they create a new item. And the flow creates a new file in a specific folder in a specific Sharepoint library.

The creation is working perfectly!

But the file extension is lost when it creates the new file.

For example: If the user attaches a file called ASDFGHJKL.pdf and I want the stream to rename it to

FRIEND.pdf

the flow renames only to

FRIEND

without the extension (.pdf) at the end of the file

If the user attaches a file in PDF or PNG or JPEG or whatever, it renames the file correctly but loses the extension.

Can you help me?

Thank you for the patience guys.
I got it with this expression

last(split(item()?['DisplayName'], '.'))
