Hi Team, I am new to using Alteryx,

 

I need to remove the first 16 characters of all the PDF files I am uploading. 

 

For Example; 

 

010445- ABCDE - Necessary_File_Name.pdf 

 

Needs to be 

 

Necessary_File_Name.pdf

 

Thank you!

Hi @ghartman98 

 

You can use the run command tool to facilitate this. Take a look at my solution to this thread - it should get you going in the right direction.
