Hi,

I have about 200+ files uploaded in a document library. All the file names for respective files in SharePoint follow upper/lower format. So each word in a file name has first alphabet set in upper case and remaining alphabets in lower, same goes for other words in file name. A sample file name is as follows: Monthly Cfo Mm Budgeting Llc 1-29-19. I had achived this sort of file naming convention via a flow running on a document library, pelase see screenshots.

The above flow works without an issue but i have anohter challenge.

Now the requirement is if a file name contains words like: Cfo, Mm and Llc then they should be changed to upper case :CFO, MM, LLC. If a file name does not contain such words then will remain as is. I believe this would be possible to do, I will have to setup a separate flow as I already ran the above flow on a document library so if someone can assist, it will be a big help. I guess there will be formula changes in my existing flow.

P.S: This operation is required for all the existing documents, not looking to automate when a file is created/uploaded, thanks in advance.

For task 2 you could use similar logic but the event you could use is when a file is created (SharePoint). I haven't tested this yet.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

You have two tasks to do:
(1) Existing document names to rename to capital letters depending on the condition.
(2) When a new file is copied to a library then rename to captial letters if it meets the criteria.

For task 1 you need flow step SharePoint Get Items. Then within the apply each loop check the condition something like below to add a function (fx).
@contains(items('Apply_to_each')?[toLower('{FilenameWithExtension}')], 'cfo') contains 'cfo'.

If yes then copy the file to a new location with new filename with captial letters. Delete the current file. Then move the newly created file to the old location.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks
