Handling by user uploaded files (file/blob type)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by LenPower 2
Hi everyone,
 
I want to to let user upload doc and docx files to then do some analysis by gpt-4o.
 
There is a prebuild entity "file", that I use to catch the uploaded file by the user:
 
How can I work with this file type?
 
Tracking it in testing there is not much information.
 
Testing it in formula I can see that it is actually a blob type.
 
Trying to parse it as a json is not working:
 
I also can use the file as a input for a flow file. As a flow file is a record and not a blob.
 
 
 
How can I work with this data now?
Also on the side, is tehre a way to validate the file type uploaded by the user?
 
Many thanks and happy holidays!

    I'm facing the same issue like you with no luck (although tried several expressions and conversions) :S
    I'll keep on researching and let you know as soon as I find a solution :)
