Is there a way to use magic etl string operations to only give me the file name?

FileName
Receipt20181213_20200107_133244.pdf

    You can do this with the Split Columns function in the ETL. Assuming your structure has 2 folders and then the filename, it would look like this:

    splitcolumn.PNGThis would result in the following based on your data:

    If you don't care about the folders then you can use the Replace Text widget with the following regular expression (and replace with the empty string). It will handle any number of folders.

     

    ^.*\\

    See the attached screenshot for the configuration options.
