Use a Wildcard in URL

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 262

Hi All,

 

I have a URL that is used in a Launch function.  This opens a folder on a share point site.

This is the path that I am using: (Sharepoint site)/(variable).

 

What I would like is to use a wildcard after the variable, is this possible?

 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi @mmbr1606 

     

    Currently I have the below Switch:

    Launch(

                    Switch(VAR.'CurrentStatus',

                                                    "Completed",

                                                    Concatenate(

                    "(Sharpoint Site) " VAR 1," - " ,VAR2, “(",VAR3,") - COMPLETE"),

                                                    "Cancelled",

                                                    Concatenate(

                    "(Sharpoint Site) ",VAR 1," - ",VAR 2," (",VAR3,") - CANCELLED"),

                                                    Concatenate(

                    "(Sharpoint Site) ",VAR 1," - ",VAR2," (",VAR3,")")

                         )

    )             

     

    What I really would like is to have a single line like below

    (Sharepoint Site)/VAR 1*

    where VAR is the first part of the folder name, so it does not matter what the rest of the folder name is.

    try this 

    Launch(
     Switch(
     VAR.'CurrentStatus',
     "Completed",
     Concatenate("(Sharepoint Site)/", ExtractFirstPart(VAR1), "* - COMPLETE"),
     "Cancelled",
     Concatenate("(Sharepoint Site)/", ExtractFirstPart(VAR1), "* - CANCELLED"),
     Concatenate("(Sharepoint Site)/", ExtractFirstPart(VAR1), "*")
     )
    )
