How to use dynamic file name to get file content

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Lukas1 190

Hi,

I am trying to get the content of a csv-file. The name of the file is stored in a variable. Unfortunately I get a "Bad Request"-message.

 

I tried to include the variable in the file-path:

Unbenannt.JPG

 

I also tried to use "concat" to get this done:

Unbenannt2.JPG

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi @Lukas1 

     

    The Get file content action needs you to point to the file or the file identifier. In your case while referring to the file name using variable, you can use the get file content using path action: ffd.PNG

    Hope this Helps!
