Hello, hi there

I'm using sharepoint online(Office 365). First of all i have created a column (Single line of text) and include that column on current view i used in Documents folder. My question now is how do i insert a value into that column automatically when i do an upload process. Let say the name of file i upload is MyFile2 , MyFile3 and MyFile4 and I want the value of that column will be automatically inserted MyFile2 , MyFile3 and MyFile4. And if i can achieve that by doing customn code, is there any tools that i must used?

thanks in advance

I think it would be better to use calculated filed instead of single line of text which will have the sub string of filename

If you still need to Single line of text, then you need to create a workflow to update to filed when document added to the library.

Hope this helps.
