How to read file contents when file name is unknown

[arobinson15]

I am trying to create a flow that will read the contents of a text file when it is uploaded into a SharePoint online library.  Files are uploaded daily.  Although the format and content layout within the files are the same, the file name is not consistent.  How may Flow read the files content when the file name is unknown?  Please provide example. 

Thanks,

Hi,

You need to use the trigger when file is created.

Then just get the file content and do whatever you need to it.

The trigger when file is created will not work as various files and file types are uploaded into the same SharePoint library.   And, I would prefer not to have 10 different document libraries to handle for each type of file.  Likewise, I do now want multiple flow failures when different types of files are uploaded.  Is it possible to use wildcards for the file name?  If so, please provide an example.

Thanks.
