Retain JSON formatting when using in Create file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I have a JSON response from a HTTP request which I want to retain the formatiing on. What I am experiencing is that when I place my JSON into a file content it flattens it onto one line. I need it formatted as JSON as I am subsequently using it for a PowerShell.

 

I need to retain the json on separate lines like this
{
"mail": "pretend@email adress",
"otherMails": "pretend@email adress"
},
{
"mail": "pretend@email adress",
"otherMails": "pretend@email adress"
}

 

However when I place it into the file content it always saves on one line.

When I use the create file action I create the outer JSON manually then place the variable in the middle.

Thanks,

Yvonne
