Saving file - read from user's input

[tennykim]

Hi guys, I am not too sure whether the topic title accurately describes the rookie problem that I am having atm.

At the moment, my flow is going okay except for one problem. As soon as it is launched, it asks for the user to input 6 digit matter number. I have defined it as a variable string, called it ‘matternumber’.

Through out the process, it creates a PDF file. During the process of saving the pdf file, I want the file name to be:

matternumber 1.pdf (e.g 123456 1.pdf)

So this is what I have atm.

This then occurs.

Ideally, I would like the pdf file to be saved in accordance with the following format.

“Matternumber(6 digits) Date and Time - Default Title”
123456 030917 1230 - Default Title

I gave below a go and it spit out the date and time, except that it gives ‘03/09/2017’ which is not an allowed file name format in Windows.

Date.Time.ToString

Again, I thank you for your advice in advance and apologies for asking rookie question(s).

Cheers,

T

Hi,
I don’t see any value assigned to matternumber variable .
If value fetched from other source then make sure it’s not returning null.
