Hi Guys,

I have built a flow which trigerred by email to create planner task and saves attachments onto sharepoint. It works fine until it receives special character in email subject like Re:. Because sharepoint cannot create a folder with a name which contains those characters. Is there any way we can remove those characters from subject before it creates folder in sharepoint? Or is there any best practices to who has experienced same issue as mine?

{

"status": 400,

"message": "The file or folder name contains characters that are not permitted. Please use a different name.\r\nclientRequestId:

}

Hi @Temka

I have made a test for your reference:

1.

createArray('.','@','ß','²','³','µ','´','°','^','=','(',')','&','$','§', '~','#','%','*',':','<','>','?','/','|',' ')

2.

3.

I think this link will help you:
