Edit individual file names when extracting a zip file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 31

Hi everyone

 

I have a flow setup that automatically extracts zip files that are placed in a One Drive folder.  This works fine but I now need to append the date that the zip file was originally received to the file name of each of the individual files as they are unzipped.  This date is part of the zip archive name so I basically want to do the below for each individual file as they are unzipped:

 

FileName = OriginalFileName + 1st x characters of zip archive name

 

At the moment I can't see any way of setting the individual file names at the point of unzipping the archive.  It looks like the only things I can can amend are the fileds shown below:

Is there any workaround where I could set achieve the above or is this not possible in Flow at the moment?

 

Thanks

    Hi @gjayne84,

     

    It seems that this is not available so far in flow. Consider to post an idea is you really need the feature.
