Move a file to a folder based on its name

Posted on by Paul_PA

Hello everyone,

I want to sort the files newly added to OneDrive.

I have several folders with the following paths :

/test/000001/

/test/000002/

/test/000003/

For example, a file with the name "000001 - Tree.jpg" is added to the OneDrive root.

I want this file to be automatically moved to the folder /test/000001/.

I know how to extract the "000001" from the file name, but not how to move it to the corresponding folder. There must be something to do with a for-loop function and -if statements, but I don't find Power Automate very intuitive.

Thank you in advance,

Paul

Hi @Paul_PA,

Do you want to automatically move a file to a folder containing substring?

Here is a demo flow, please check as below:

substring(first(split(triggerBody()?['Name'],'.')),0,indexOf(first(split(triggerBody()?['Name'],'.')),'_'))

Here is the testing result:
