I have a folder in SharePoint. I want PDF files to be renamed when I put them in this folder.
For example, the document is named "342532_Amazon". I want the flow to keep the first six numbers (as the new name) and remove the rest.
How can I do this automatically in a cloud flow?
@Andri03 You can split the file name by the underscore and return the first portion of the string with an expression.
first(split([filename dynamic content],'_'))
The split() expression will return the file name as an array. Since you only want the first portion, wrapping the entire expression in the first() function will only return 342532.
Replace the flilename dynamic content in the expression above with the filename dynamic content from your flow.
