Git file content when path included a + sign.

I have been using a flow to grab pdfs from share point and display them via PowerApps.

 

this works fine I encode the URL in PowerApps and then flow pulls the file.

 

however it falls over when there is a + in the filename, I can see the URL is encoded correctly and is the same as when I copy the link from SharePoint, however when I feed this through the get file content action it fails to find the file.

 

is there a way around this other than renaming the files?

    Hi @DarrenHiggins 

     

    I think + plus sign should be encoded as %2B 

     

    I would suggest, take the same url having + sign in file name, replace it with %2B and then see whether get file content works or not ?

    Thanks & Regards,
