Good day Everyone,
I am very new to Power Automate Desktop, I've been using Power automate for a few months now, with some success. I am struggling to find an answer to this probably simple task.
Using the web recorder, i grab excel files from a few different sites and they drop into my default downloads folder. Some files have a different name each time. Like adding a date onto the end. I want to move and rename some of these files, but i need to use a function like "begins with" when selecting the file.
I don't see an option to use a wild card like: File to Move begins with "File Name%"
Do i need to create a variable or use another action?
Thank you,
Mark

Hi @Mark_Ball
Use Get files in folder action and apply file filter to it with * "SomeFileName*".
"*" is the wild card. You can use it before or after the file name
Then it will produce Files Array
Then use "Move File" action with %Files% or %Files[0]% depending on your use case
Hope this helps 🙂
