Keeping the extension when creating a file from "Get File Content"

Posted on by SP-26101405-0 4
Hi,
 
My flow starts with a Form through which users can provide attachments.
These attachments are automatically saved to a OneDrive folder, and my flow copy these on different Sharepoint folders through "Get File Content" [OneDrive] and "Create File" [SharePoint].
 
Does anyone know how to preserve the Extension of the original file?
 
I'm attaching my Flow to this question.
 
Thanks!

    Could you append Volet social before the filename?
    This way you would not have to change your flow.
    Otherwise use the following expression
    concat(
        first(split(variables('fileName'), '.')),
        ' - Volet social.',
        last(split(variables('fileName'), '.'))
    )

    @SudeepGhatak
    Unfortunately I do not understand either option you are presenting to me.
     
    What do you mean by "append Volet Social before the filename"? 
    The words have to be part of the file name.
     
    Regarding the expression you are suggesting, where exactly should I paste it?
     
    Thanks,
    SP
