Text collection contains string operator not working/malfunctioning

Dear, 

I'm currently trying to validate if our user's proper upload files true a flow.

When our users will upload a file, the file name will be collected in a text collection variable. The file upload module is limited to only receive .pdf files. 

Whereof in the end flow makes a comparison between the text collection and the string ".pdf". With running the flow, it makes a strange decision.

User-added image

The text collection {!FileNames} equals [2.pdf], compares it with ".pdf". but the conditions weren't met. 

Could someone help me out what I'm doing wrong here? Isn't flow comparing the extension of the files? Or....? 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi - I got this to work by adding a loop through the collection variable into a text variable, then comparing the text variable content.

Hi Lori, 

Thanks for the feedback! 
Would it be possible to share a couple of screenshots on how you configured it? I tried to reconstruct your wording, but I still didn't get it to work.

Thanks in advance!
