Hi, I want to check if an Image is shown from the local storage (i.e. camera) or if it is a url or base64? I tried e.g. the following: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/2/92a3bf7ac685ac243ec59b396e2ffa6b5c2b3d42.png) Is this the way or is there another way? Thank you! ---

Hey @Kirro, I don’t think this logic will work to check for the presence of a URL How about using the `does text contain` block, like this: ![text_contains](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/3/03a573c7edbe39d7f64d39128407d108f9ad0ec3.png) ---
