Send only .pdf and .txt files (attachments)

There is a possibility to limit the attachments imported with the incoming script. The following line works fine.

issue.attachments = replica.attachments.findAll { attachment -> attachment.filename.endsWith(“.pdf”) }

When we only want to accept .pdf and .txt I changed it into

issue.attachments = replica.attachments.findAll { attachment -> attachment.filename.endsWith(“.pdf”,“.txt”) }

unfortunately this gives an error. Is it possible to define multiple file extensions?

Hey, Ron Becker

Thanks for asking on community!
You could do it with || operator or the array list check:

issue.attachments = replica.attachments.findAll { attachment -> attachment.filename.endsWith(".pdf") || attachment.filename.endsWith(".pdf") }

or

issue.attachments = replica.attachments.findAll { attachment -> [".pdf",".txt"].any { ext -> attachment.filename.endsWith(ext) } }

Happy Exalating!
