Getting a file based on the name containing a number

[E_Nel]

Hi, I'm still a bit of a noob to PA, so please excuse any dumb questions.

I upload a folder containing pdf files to a central folder called "0000001 - All" (6 zeros, just so it stays on top without having to pin and shared users unpinning it).  From this folder files must be copied in to other folders sharing the same library based on the file names, which contain the number I'm looking for.

I managed to set up the flow below, which works for moving the file that contains "000001" (5 zeros), but when I follow the exact same process to copy the file which contains, eg. 511100, I the get error:

"Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition' at line '1' and column '17466': 'The template language function 'contains' expects parameters of matching types: a dictionary and a key (string), an array and a value (object), or a string and a substring. The provided types 'String' and 'Integer' are incompatible. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#contains for usage details.'."

 

 

I've found very few posts on moving/copying files based on their name containing the value, those that do are very confusing in describing how the string element works.  The method I applied was just typing the value straight into the box, which worked.

Here is a screenshot of the flow that works.  I saved a copy of the flow when I tried to do the next search and folder name as well as recreating it from scratch, no luck.

Ok, seems I resolved the issue by adding a string to the condition as per image below. 

I still have no idea why not adding a string on the first one I did worked, but not with the second flow.  Someone is more than welcome to comment on that.

Thanks for share the solution, I don't know if anyone would like to comment the solution.
