Get files (properties only) by Name

Posted on by 1,401 Moderator

I have a list of files in a Library that either start with:

  • Employee Termination Request
  • Employee Termination
  • Supervisor Comments

 

I have a sperate flow that combines "Employee Termination Request" and "Supervisor Comments" into "Employee Termination", so I want to only find files that start with "Employee Termination Request":

This is the "Name" field is actually "Title" which returns as "{Name}" using Get files (properties only).

I trued using "Title", "Name", and "{Name}" in the Filter Query and I get no results with all of them:

    Hello @IPC_ahaas ,

    the file name is represented by a hidden column FileLeafRef, and if you want to search if a file name starts with a string you can't use 'equals' operator. Use startsWith(...) instead.

    startswith(FileLeafRef, 'Employee Termination Request')
