Multiple conditions with contains in power automate desktop

Question

I want to evaluate multiple conditions in one If statement in Power Automate Desktop. I have been able to do it with the basic operators (=, >, <, <>, etc.) and using IsEmpty. But I have not found any documentation about how to use it with these:

Contains
Does not contain
Starts with
Doesn't start with
Ends with
Doesn't end with

I would like to evaluate something like this:

%strFileContents Contains 'word' and strFilePath Does not contain '.txt'%

I know that I can achieve this with multiple ifs but I would like to know if it can be done in a single one.

Thanks.

%Contains(strFileContents, 'Word', True) AND NOT(Contains(strFilePath,'.txt.))%

You can add as many AND or OR as you like to evaluate the condition.

Thank you! It worked. Do you know where I can find any documentation about how to use those conditions like this one? – Juan Puello Nov 16 '21 at 14:54
Unfortunately no. Often just have to "Figure it out" – michael parsons Nov 30 '21 at 18:58
