Hi Dan, Sorry for the late reply. I do have Decoding and Encoding for my file attachments. What i was trying to do was, when the user tries to upload a file with a file name more than 128 characters. I wanted to trim the file name before it gets pushed to the library. Please see my code below private string CleanFileName(string filename) { string invalidCharacters = "[\\~#%&*{}/:<>?|\"-]"; Regex invalidCharactersRegex = new Regex(invalidCharacters); filename = Regex.Replace(invalidCharactersRegex.Replace(filename, ""), @"\s+", ""); if (filename.Length > 128) { filename = string.Format("{0}.{1}",Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename).Substring(0, 128), Path.GetExtension(filename)); } return filename; } Not sure what i am doing wrong here. Look forward to hear from you. Regards, Ravi

Hi Ravik,

Please refer to Hilary's post from this thread. Alternatively, you can also use qRules to validate or even overwrite the file name with a desired value (based from other fields, current user, etc.) without writing code. Hope this helps.

Hi All, Is there a way to restrict or trim the attachment file if it exceeds more than 100 or 128 character? Regards, Ravi
