Hi Flow people :cathappy:
I am trying to automatically list files in Teams folder since there is no search option in teams, but you can crtl+F and search in txt files.
My flow looks like this:

The problem is, that the "Html to text" function returns text with some weird line breaks so the file is totally unreadable. When I save it as html, it looks perfectly fine (with content from "Create HTML table").

This is how the txt file looks like in Teams:

"Create HTML table" returns correct lines with files path and names, for example:

 Delte dokumenter/General/All files list.html 
 Delte dokumenter/General/image form bss.jpg 
 Delte dokumenter/General/New Text Document.txt

"Html to text" returns:

 Delte dokumenter/General/All files list.html Delte
dokumenter/General/image form bss.jpg Delte dokumenter/General/New Text
Document.txt

Any ideas?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned with a random break lines.

Please take a try with a different html table to see if the issue still exists.

Best regards,

Alice

What exactly do you mean by trying different html table?
The flow is creating a new one every time it runs.

To be clear: you are creating a txt file with output from "html to text" and you are getting a nice file with folder paths like this? :
/folder1/file1.jpg
/folder2/folder22/file2.txt
