How to add a new line to txt file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I am currently working on a flow that would extract staff leavers' names and leaving dates from an email. I've created a flow that takes the staff name and the leaving date and puts them into a text file.

 

The problem I am facing is that when a new email comes, it overwrites the previous name and date. How do I adjust the flow to make it where it creates a new line when new information comes?

 

Thanks.

    Hello @Anonymous ,

    please use this expression in a "Compose" action:

     

    concat(body('Get_file_content'),'
    ','<your_value>')

     

    and then put the Compose Outputs in your File Content inside the Update File action.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. still confused about one thing.  The expression, concat(body('Get_file_content'),'','<your_value>') what do I put in place of "your content"?
