Hi @Sudharsan_Ka , i did download the attachment and replace the code as well. it is still throwing out the error.

Hi @Justine
Could you please share the Invoice.xlsx screenshot or the file itself.
I cannot find the value for newFileName in the screenshot but i think “_” may be replaced with “|” pipe symbol.
Hi @johnfelix ,
attaching the file for your reference
Invoices.xlsx (7.4 KB)
Hi @Justine
newFileName column contains value with linebreak and that’s also an illegal character.
you can replace the new break in the newFileName before passing it to argument
try below code to replace the line break
row(“newFileName”).ToString.Replace(vbLf,“”)
Also you can give a try with Rename File activity to achieve same result.
If you use this activity, then no need to replace the line break. activity itself will handle the line break
Thanks
John
i tried to include the replace function, somehow it still didn’t remove the additional line break.
(item(“Account No”).tostring+“_”+item(“Invoice Number”).tostring+“.pdf”).Replace(vbLf,“”)
i tried to remove the additional line break manually and execute the bot again, the error still persist.
Why don’t you just use activities, like For Each File in Folder, and Move (to rename)?
