Getting Physical File ID from File System Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Whenever you use the "create file" action from the file system connector, the file ID that it returns is some weird incredibly long mix of numbers and letters (example 'XFxtbWRnLWRjMDFcRGV2ZWxvcG1lbnRcRGF0YWJhc2VcUmVjZWlwdHNcdGVzdEZpbGUucGRm'). But the actual file ID used by the computer (and the other connection I'm feeding the file into) is a 32-36 mostly number id (such as '0x00000000000000000002000000063d72'). How can I convert the file ID returned by blobmetadata into a usable file ID?
