Parse a simple text list

[Bob_dvb]

I would like to fetch a text file from a server which contains some basic data separated by a space, so it isn't a CSV or JSON formatted. I have seen split but I think I need to split by "\n" or CRLF and then split each of those items in half. Is there any easy way to do this?

Hi @Bob_dvb,

Can you describe what you want to achieve in flow more clearly? What is the connector that you are using to fetch the data? What do you need to do after you parse the list?

Regards,

Mona

Thanks for looking:

I have a text log file on a web server which has a list which is like:

hsfdjhjksdhfjk /75879/jdfhf/hjfdhgkjdf/hjdghkjdf/test.m3u8

dfhjshfkjdsjkf /74857/hjdhjkdsh/hjdhkjdhf/test.m3u8

I would like to parse through them, and transform them into outputs that I can create sub-actions "for each". I can see JSON parsers but I can't see how to do a simple action on each line of a text response.

Just did something similar, but I create an azure functions to extract the data., calling it from the flow. I believe it is your best option for now.

Or maybe you can use this project and parse the json file generated: https://github.com/logicappsio/CSVtoJSON

You can use Parse CSV action from Plumsail Documents connector. It allows you to convert CSV into an array and variables for each column. Please read this article demonstrating how it works.
