hey guys I am actually working with the power automate .From the SharePoint shared Document/MVP_Coe I need to extract the text from the documents whenever a file gets uploaded. How can I actually convert the output of get file content base64 string to the original text (text inside the document). Can anybody help me with this part.
the base64tostring functions expression is :base64toString(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body'])
but it shows error.
Is there a way to do this extracting text from the word docx file from sharepoint folder path why because my use case it to save the docx file in sharepoint from there I need to extract the text. The trigger and flow i have mentioned above.
DOCX files are actually .zip containers that hold an XMl document. Here's an article on how to get at the content in a Docx. Extract text from Word docx files with Power Automate (tachytelic.net)
May i Know why am i getting the input and output like this after adding the expression
base64toString(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']?['$content'])
