Filtering attachments by name without spaces

[HeavyOne]

Hello there,

I would like to filter incoming attachments by name. I can't get it to work, because attachment names are without spaces and I'd like to filter that.

For example, the attachments have name like this: 

"Crystal_StagingWeek2V5_Fri15Apr-Sun17Apr"

"Crystal_StagingWeek2V5_IndivdualArtistFri15Apr"

I would like to create file in Sharepoint only for first type of attachments. I would like to NOT recieve files with word "individual".

My current flow looks like this:

Many thanks!!

See my example condition below:

Hey there, I actually think you are very close.  I just made a condition to check if the attachment name 'contains' the string:

I wasn't sure if the condition is case sensitive or not, so notice that the dynamic value is wrapped in a tolower() to make the whole thing lower-case, and then compare it to my check that is also all lower case.

One thing to note:  I ran through this a couple of times and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working until I saw that "Individual" is misspelled in the attachment name example you gave: "Crystal_StagingWeek2V5_IndivdualArtistFri15Apr" (it's missing an i).  So if you're spelling it correctly in your condition, it won't ever match.

Keep us posted.

Actually ..... something is still wrong.

Yes, I can filter the attachments, so I'm getting only one pdf, but somehow I can't open it.

When I upload same pdf manually, I can preview it.
