searchContinueV2 seems to not work on the last batch it should find
I am using the Java2 SDK to perform a search for directories matching a pattern, then deleting them. The directories are named as:
ROOT_DIR_CONSTANT/p_<YYYYMMDD>/p_<ID 1>_<SUB ID 1>

Is there a way with listFolders to have it match on a partial directory name? That is why I was using search. Because while I know the root dir name, and I can specifically check the name of the directory associated with a date, AND I know the first ID, I do not know in advance what the last portion of the directory name might be. i.e. given this directory path:
/TestingRootDir/p_20211018/p_44c92de4-ddd6-42dc-823a-9dkkf35j5sds_test001
I can derive this much ahead of time: /TestingRootDir/p_20211018/p_44c92de4-ddd6-42dc-823a-9dkkf35j5sds
But the last '_test001' may be any number of a combination of characters. So what I was trying to do is get the list of directories associated with the first portion of the directory name only.
Can listFolder do that?
Thanks!

Dropbox Community ModeratorNo, the listFolder functionality doesn't support partial matching like that. You would need to list the nearest parent folder and then apply whatever filtering you want on the results client-side.
