Comparing List/ Item/ Attachment names with Library/File names

Hello all!!!

Hope you are all doing fine

I have a flow where I took attachments of list items and create a library list with them.

This is how it looks like now.

I have a problem now. When a colleague uploads an attachment which has the same name already uploaded, the flow (actually flows) fails. Now I have to compare each new attachment with the existing library file names and if they have the same name the attachment should be deleted and mailed so on...

You may decide to create a new flow before this flow or within.

thank you all!

Hi @Anonymous ,

If the attachment has the same name with the file in the document library and, and you want to delete it, I made a sample for you.

Best Regards,

@v-xiaochen-msft thank you for your answer Wearsky!

Just to inform, there are always 2 attachments in each list items. First attachment always docx and the second one (which is the reason of this new flow) is a JPG file.

Does this info changes any flow progress? Because what this leads me to think "I have to insert a condition for absoluteUri contains JPG" if it is correct than I can insert this second condition.

Best Regards

I mistyped length... Fixed it.

But now the condition, length(body('Filter_array')) is greater than 0 always goes no.

length(body('Filter_array'))

here is an example
the first attachment is a docx file therefore (I guess) the condition is false

but the second file is a jpg file condition 2 succeeded
but it failed condition 3 which is checking if the titles are same. In this example they are the same. I upload an already uploaded jpg file but it failed.

thank you all
have a nice day
