variable truncated

Posted on by CU02101424-0 2
Hello:
I am using Power Automate: the variable that I ask it to use is truncated, that is, the program removes some letters. 
I am just iterating over the contents of a folder using for each function...
For example C:\Users\Lenovo\Dropbox\temas\editorial\A String of Carols.wav , the word temas remained as emas... 
 
what could be the problem?

    Could you share a screenshot of your flow?
    Also at what point is the letter t from that file path is lost? Is the path already truncated with "Get files in folder" -actions output? 

    I haven't encounter this type of problem. Maybe it has to do with Dropbox.
