Probably on hour 4 now...and still can't get this to work...

What I'm trying to do:

Pertinent background info - My organization's email address begins with a 1-3 digit number or it does not depending on the location we work, followed by a period, then name, then @organization. A few examples: (2.ssmith@org.com, 102.sclark@org.com, bjones@org.com)
High level Flow overview - When an email arrives in a shared mailbox, get the text before the "." in the From address, then, depending on the value, move the email to a specific folder in the 'main' mailbox. The goal is to consolidate a number of shared mailboxes into one. We think Flow will give us some flexibility with routing emails (maybe Flow is not the best idea?!)
I believe i have the expression to get the value before the period, but I can't get the condition to work. it either errors, or evaluates as false when it should be true. It may be a string/integer issue but every combination i try fails to work. I also am not a variable/compose expert, so maybe i am using the wrong data operation
Here's my latest version of the Flow (I now have 4 different saved versions...all of which are not working). Note that i have hardcoded the condition value as a string:
when testing this version, I am using an email sent from 2.name@org.com. Here is the error I am getting:
I've searched for help on this but can't seem to figure it out; any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
