Import Text

Configuration actuelle de la tâche Importer du texte dans le concepteur de flux de travail

The Task Import Text allows you to import the content of a text file within the workflow. Its function is to read a file from a specified path, making it available for processing by subsequent Tasks.

Configuration​

Configuring the Task is very simple and focuses on a single field.

  • File to Import: Enter the full path (absolute path) of the text file to import in this field. The value can be provided in two ways:
  1. Static Path: A fixed path, typed directly into the field. This option is useful when the file to be processed is always in the same location.
  2. Dynamic Path (via Parameters): A path obtained from a parameter of type "file" of the Workflow.

Important Notes​

  • Only Text Files: This Task is specifically designed to read plain text files. Examples of supported files include: .txt, .csv, .json, .xml, .log, etc.
  • Binary Files are Not Supported: The Import Text Task cannot import binary files. Attempting to read files such as images (.png, .jpg), documents (.pdf, .docx) or compressed archives (.zip) will result in an error during execution, as the Task will not be able to interpret their content as text.

Output Parameters​

Upon completion of the execution, the task makes the following output parameter available, which can be used in subsequent tasks in the diagram.

  • result: Contains the entire content of the imported text file, stored as a single text (string) variable. This output is very useful for subsequent Tasks that need to analyze, transform, or extract information from that text (e.g., "JSON vers Tableau", "XML vers tableau", etc.).
  • resultJson: Represents the result of the task execution in JSON format, including general information, configurations and details about the execution.
  • Example resultJson:
