Wildcard in Search Query for OneDrive Find Files in Folder By Path

Posted on by wi11iamr

Hi there,

My aim is to return a list of all the files in a OneDrive folder, and then I will use a filter to select only those files that are relevant to the specific actions I want to perform.

I'm using the OneDrive "Find Files in folder by Path" as this appears to be the only method that will accept a variable as the folder path. All the other OneDrive "list files" methods require the unique Path ID and although I see there are ways in which to Get Metadata and then work from there, this route has proven too complex for now.

The trouble is that the "Find Files in folder by path" has a mandatory "Search Query" field. Ideally I'd like to leave this blank, but given that it is mandatory is there any way in which I can use a wildcard to simply return all files?

Hi @wi11iamr ,

Unfortunately, searching is phrase based and does not support wildcards or similar search augmentations.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I found a workaround
I put * on query to have all file and a condition just after to check if the fileName is correct or not

Our experience was that using * did not work. But we found that *.* will work.

That gives me the error:
{
  "status": 401,
  "message": "A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*).",
  "source": "api.connectorp.svc.ms"
}
