Hey everyone,

I have a process where I get mail from users and save the attachment to a predefined folder with the name they gave in the body of the mail.

I do this by save attachemnt then move file to that folder with the name user gave in the body. (this is how I rename)

How can I save this is attachment correctly If the name of the file contains " / " .
For example:
Name of file given is 123/22222, when I move file the robot takes “/” as a document seperator, so it looks for 123 folder to save the file as 222222. How can I workaround this problem any one faced the same issue?

Thank you for your helps.

If you check normally creating a file with “/” in windows it will throw you warning message as below

So it’s better to replace “/” to another valid character like “_”

Hope this helps you

Thanks
