Rename file with file action trigger

[jeremycherfas]

Trying to create a file action trigger to rename a file by removing a suffix completely. I'm not sure how to share the actual workflow. Attach files does not permit me to upload the workflow.

 

The filename is of the form "/Users/jeremycherfas/Dropbox/jcn-logs/forno-logs/access.log.2022-04-03" {var:filename} is set to {query}

 

I use a regex to remove the final part and copy the result "/Users/jeremycherfas/Dropbox/jcn-logs/forno-logs/access.log" to the clipboard.

 

I pass the clipboard to Run Script bin/zsh containing mv "{var:filename}" "{clipboard}"

 

I get an error "No such file or directory"

 

I'm sure this is something silly, but I cannot figure it out.

 

Debug output:

```

There’s your problem. Variables are fed into Zsh as environment variables. The working equivalent would be mv "${filename}" "$(pbpaste)".

You can use a temporary file hosting service like https://transfer.sh.

Thank you very much. After a couple of tries, that now works perfectly.
