Hi,

I am creating a flow that would parse csv-file to share point list.

I have found instructions where you first get content of the csv-file and then use split-function.

In the example that I am following is also using this "get file content"-object in the split-function but for some reason split-function is giving me error below:

"Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose_-_split_by_new_line' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'split' expects its first parameter to be of type string. The provided value is of type 'Object'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#split for usage details.'."

Is there some other similar fuction that I should be using with objects or how should I proceed?

Hi @A-R,

If you want to retrieve the content and view it as a string (to be able to split it) you could use the $content property within the body and use a base64tostring function.

Try something like below:

split(base64tostring(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body']['$content']), outputs('Compose_-_new_line'))
