Automating the creation of data table with data from a txt-file

Posted on by SG-30101306-0 4
Hello,
 
I'm currently trying to create a flow that will automate the creation of a table based on data from a txt-file (txt-file is attatched). Can anyone help with how I should go about this?
I tried with ChatGPT as help, but that didn't work.
 
Thanks.

    You can try to figure out what characters are used as linebreaks & delimiters in your file and then do something like this

    Maybe needing to use decodeuricomponent( ) with uri encodings for those linebreak & delimiter characters.

    Thank you for the response.
     
    I tried following the steps in the linked article, however the data in my txt file is tab separated, thus I wind up with the last compose output being like this: 
     
    {
    "#": "1\t1\t20241014_MISB_SOK_001\tVand\tVand\t0.0\t4.24\t69.762\t0.0\t0.0\t0.0\t\tBlank\t1.081\t1.500\tYES\t\t\t",
    "Name": "",
    "ID": "",
    "SampleText": "",
    "StdConc": "",
    "RT": "",
    "Area": "",
    "ISArea": "",
    "Response": "",
    "Conc": "",
    "Dev": "",
    "Type": "",
    "RatioActual": ""
    },
     
    How do I get rid of the t's and how do I make sure that the data in each line gets inserted in every record in the JSON string?
