Writing filter query in 'Get files (Properties only)'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have created a Flow to get the Files from a Folder in sharepoint. This folder contains all the files with extensions like .pdf,.xlsx and .eml(referring to emails). Now in the Action Get files (Properties only), I need to write a Filter query to get all the Files except for .eml extension. 

 

I am not sure on how to write it. Need help

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    You use the Filter Array and leave out the '.eml'- See - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Sharepoint-filter-by-file-type-extension/td-p/192353

    @CFernandes Thank you, I am able to get only the files with the required extension.

    Once I pass the value in apply to each it gives me an error "The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@items('Apply_to_each_2')' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array" I tried taking a compose action and in the array function passed the item from the Filter array but still seeing the same error.
