Problem with StartWith connector

Posted on by eyden

Good morning.

I'm trying to do this:

I create a file in a library, and then, depends of the starts for the name of this file, it must be moved to other folder.

I create the expression:

startsWith(triggerOutputs()?['headers/x-ms-file-id'], 'Destino1')

but it doesn't work because always appears this message:

No se pueden procesar las expresiones de lenguaje de plantilla para la acción "Si_Archivo_comienza_por_"Destino1"" en la línea "0" y la columna "0": "La función de lenguaje de plantilla "startsWith" espera que su primer parámetro sea de cadena de tipo. El valor proporcionado es de tipo "Null".

How can i solve this problem?

Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Try this instead please:

startsWith(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'],'Destino1')

You want to look at the filename, not the ms-x-file-id which is a crazy weird string.

Cheers,

Good morning.

I've changed the condition but still not working:

No se pueden procesar las expresiones de lenguaje de plantilla para la acción "Si_Archivo_comienza_por_"Destino1"" en la línea "0" y la columna "0": "La función de lenguaje de plantilla "startsWith" espera que su primer parámetro sea de cadena de tipo. El valor proporcionado es de tipo "Boolean".

Oh, you're looking for a condition? There are questions to ask here - do you want this flow to run at all if the filename does NOT start with Destino1? If that is the case, you will want to use the trigger condition instead, which is in the settings of the first action.

If you want to use a condition, then your formula will instead be:

equals(startsWith(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'],'Destino'),true)
And your operator will be "Equal to" and your value will be "true".

Right now what you have is returning "true" (the formula), and then you're asking if it's equal to 'Destino1' - which it isn't.

Hello.
The flow keeps giving me an error. I don't know if i'm doing right:

What I need is that when the file name starts with "Destino1" it is moved to a different folder.

Hi @eyden ,

Use below expression in the condition control:

startsWith(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'],'Destino1')

and set the comparison value to true.

startsWith function will return true or false.

Hope this helps.
