Having problems. I am upload a file which is being converted to a path [https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/hdshfasdSDFVCKfsdoaoD1P1w/pub/798sdsdfSDFSDAl/price\_json.txt](https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/hdshfasdSDFVCKfsdoaoD1P1w/pub/798sdsdfSDFSDAl/price_json.txt) When I am displaying information in the new app it is showing the pull path, in the legacy system, I could configure the link component to show only the last part. I am trying to use regex but it doesn’t seem to be working. I tried using [^/]+$ to strip off everything after the last “/” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/a/eada4eaeeaf71a7e3be8d745025e83088d243e22.png) ---

If you mean, that you need to leave the file name, so usually i use Slit text / and then Single value last ---

yes… I want to end up with price\_json.txt is that 2 columns you are using ? Slit text and Single value last ? ---

Single value will not work, it is copying the same results in each row, I need it to split for each row. Currently it seems to be be taking the last row and of the split column and copying it in every cell of the single value ---

What’s the end goal for displaying it? A Link component will display just the file name while also providing a clickable link. Not sure if that works for your use case though. ---

Hi Jeff, That is what I am trying to do. I am using the link component, but the file name now contains the full URL which I don’t want to display ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/e/8eae1f3dc282e744aa17c3887cbe1d9ca832b341.png) ---

I don’t I ever did anything special. This is how it looks in one of my apps. I think the difference may be that I’m using a Multiple Files column to upload multiple PDFs and then display them with a Link component. ![Screenshot_20240607-113806](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/c/2cf8fc26b46389c540c29c343a8a7933e6a4b6dc.jpeg) I didn’t have a Title option, so it must have done it automatically. ![Screenshot_20240607-114445](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/7/f7702736714a9546f63fc0b185d3fc94a2a827b1.png) ---

Multiple files columns will take care of that automatically for you, but they are not prettified (the %20 escapes for spaces are kept, for example). When you have a non-array column, the component allows you to specify the title. > **[Thịnh Đinh on LinkedIn: Remember when Glide's community was so in awe with...](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thinhcdinh_remember-when-glides-community-was-so-in-activity-7204851863035256832-GCdp?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)** > > Remember when Glide's community was so in awe with Experimental Code column?
