Create Text File in ANSI Encoding on SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hello, 

 

I am attempting to Create a File within a Power Automate Cloud Flow. The targeted location for the file is a SharePoint library. However, the issue I am having is that the newly created text file (when opened in NotePad) is encoded as a utf-8. 

 

Is there someway I can change the encoding to ANSI rather than utf-8 from within the Cloud Flow?

 

Here is a screenshot of a possible solution by ChatGPT that did not work:

    @Dlazowskileja - How does the output look like? 

     

    On a side note, I don't think its possible - also found this which mentions it might not be possible  - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Create-file-on-premises-in-ANSI/td-p/336755
