How to save only a specific file type using Save Attachment activity in UiPath

Question

Hi all, I need to save only excel files from an email attachment. How can do it?

I found there is a Filter property in Save Attachments activity? Is that right option to use? If yes, help me with the Syntax to use Filter property.

Answer 1

Hey, the Filter property from Save Mail Attachment will filter on which attachments should be saved. The filter should be in RegEx format. For your scenario, you can use “.xlsx” filter.

If you want to download only Excel files, use this in the Filter property of the Save Attachment Activity.

".*(.xlsx|.XLSX|.xls|.xls)"

It will download only excel file.
