Logic App SharePoint move files with special characters

Question

Logic App SharePoint move files with special characters

Thilini Munasinghe 20

Hi, I am using a logic app SharePoint move action to move files from one folder to another to archive files.

I have a file called " 2024+ABC+Test.processed". When moving this file, I am getting a bad request error in the move action.

In source folder, file stores as "2024+ABC+Test.processed".

But when moving, it replace + with space and take it as "2024 ABC Test.processed" in output body. I tried using encodeUriComponent. It didn't work. "Expression - encodeUriComponent(Trigger() body.tx-ml-file-name-encode).

Then it says, cannot find this file, it doesn't not exist in the source folder.

Can anyone help me to sort it please? The business cannot change the file name as it's a system generated.

Thank you in advance.Thilini 1000029492

@Thilini Munasinghe Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

Instead of passing the fileName to 'FileToMove' parameter in Move file action you need to pass the Id of the file.

To test this behavior, I have created a sample file with name "2024+ABC+Test.processed" in one of share point folders and tried to move to another folder in same site using consumption logic app with below set of actions and triggers in the workflow.

Hi Venkatesh, This is exactly correct. I also found it this morning. When I tried it with file id, it worked. I was going to update the post. Thank you so much for your effort. I really appreciate it. Kind Regards, Thilini
