Nintex Connect

Hi,

I have issue when a document name contains a single quote. This single quote is read a double quote by Nintex !

I have reproduced the issue as follows:
1. Add a file with ' in the file name to a doc library in SharePoint
2. Create Nintex Workflow that iterates over all files and store the 'name' field in a workflow variable.
3. Concatenate the variable to a larger string.
4. write to the workflow history.

All single quotes are now doubled.

I've tried the "replace" function to convert the double quote to single quote but it doesn't work.

It's really a blocking point for me so help will be really appreciated :-) 

I'm using SharePoint 2010 and Nintex Workflow 2010.

Regards,

Géraldine

Hi Geraldine,

what build of NW2010 are you using?

I've tried your steps but I have not been able to reproduce this issue.

Hi Vadim,
Sorry for my late response but I was on holiday.
So, I'm using the "build string" action and I do that

fn-Replace({WorkflowVariable:SourceFileName},"''","'")

to replace the double quote with a single quote

Géraldine

And please find below the error message I get by email 

*****

System.Exception: Source file not found: 'CounterpartsDocuments/13986 COUNTREV 2012 A2A SPA/Financial '' Review Test 002.docx' (defined by line 'CounterpartsDocuments/13986 COUNTREV 2012 A2A SPA/Financial '' Review Test 002.docx'). ---> System.IO.FileNotF

And my document is not named Finanical '' Review Test 002 but Finanical ' Review Test 002

It sounds like it could be a bug with NW.

I'd recommend emailing Nintex Support.  We could look at it closer there.
