I need to do a find and replace on a file string. All of my files contain the word "Test" and i want to remove everything to right of "Test" and replace it with ".txt".

For example.

"My_File_Test_123434235.csv"

would become...

"My_File_Test.txt"

I'm using a variable to rename the file, so this has to be done in an expression.

Thanks for the help in advance.

use expression like

(FINDSTRING("Test",YourColumn,1)>0 ? SUBSTRING(YourColumn,1,FINDSTRING("Test",YourColumn,1)+3) + ".txt" : YourColumn)
