Matching issue- please help Mon Apr 21, 2025 3:13 pm • by ApapAJP
I typically have had no issues.
I have the following file name:
2024-11-07 DOB Work Permit - Q00929724-I1-GC.pdf

I made a rule to move it as follows:
Name contains DOB Work Permit
Name matches Custom Token: Custom text ( letter Digit (8times) this does not pass.

why is that?

I am trying to move the file to a folder and use Letter and the 8 digits as a subfolder.

I tried a one rule structure too: Name matches Anything DOB Work permit - Custom token (letter then 8 digits) -

still fails

When you use "Name matches", the pattern has to account for every character in the name, not just the ones you are interested in. Consider combining your two conditions into one.

Thank you, I figured this out before the post was approved. Took me hours... LOL.

Much appreciated.
