What are you trying to achieve?
First, let me introduce myself and say hello to everyone, as this is my first post.
I’m just getting started with Make, which I find fascinating, and I’m sharing my first problem.
I’m starting with emails with multiple attached images with names like 1 prt 1.jpg, 1 prt 2.jpg, 2 prt 1.jpg, 3 prt 1.jpg, 3 prt 2.jpg, 3 prt 3.jpg, etc.
What I want is:
Group images by number (1, 2, 3…)
Create a PDF per group
Steps taken so far
I’ve tried doing this by extracting the first number from the name to group them.
With a set variable, I can extract them and sort them using a formula, but the formulas used don’t return the values.
And the next step, I don’t know how to do it directly. With pdf.co, once I have the variable with the names sorted in pairs or triplets, I can generate a PDF for each group.
I was thinking of uploading the files to Drive in folders based on the extracted number and, once organized, running the process folder by folder and processing them in pdf.co.
It seems like a bit of a long process to waste operations, but I don’t know how to do it any other way.
Let’s see if you can help me extract the first number and then group them. If you can think of a way to do this for the PDF system, great.
I know the PDF module isn’t configured correctly, but I want to fix the variable first.
I’m attaching some screenshots and the Blueprint in case that helps.
Thank you very much
