Posted on by batvan276 206

Hello, 

 

Can someone please help me extract the file type when a user uploads a new file via Forms ?

 

I tried different variation of this expression but cannot get it working ; 

 

last(split(triggerbody()?['file']?['name'], '.'))
last(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'],'.'))
 
Here is my flow ;

    Have a look at raw output of "Get response details" and use something like

    last(split(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/re40bbf33c3d742f4b6cfef8a6cb8225b'], '.'))

    I got it working. After the Compose Step I used the below expression ; 

     

    last(split(outputs('Compose'),'.'))
