Hi all,
iam generating an Array, which is sent to PowerApps later, out of a Text File.
My Text file looks like this:
In an ApplyToAll loop iam removing all unrelevant lines/rows.
So the first output of the FilterArray Action looks like this:
Problem is iam getting mutiple results after the Select() Action, where only should be one!
Accepted Solutions
Data
Compose with the file content
DataStringArray
Compose that splits the lines and removes spaces
split(
replace(
replace(
replace(
replace(
outputs('Data'),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
decodeUriComponent('%0A')
)
DataStringArrayFilteredForEmpty
Filter that removes empty lines
From: @outputs('DataStringArray')
Filter: @not(equals(item(), string(null)))
This looks better 😉: @not(empty(item()))
DataObjectArray
Select that creates the objects
From (Skip the headlines)
skip(body('DataStringArrayFilteredForEmpty'), 5)
article
split(item(), ' ')[0]
length
split(item(), ' ')[1]
width
split(item(), ' ')[2]
etc.
NewData
Compose that removes duplicates
union(body('DataObjectArray'), json('[]'))
Create HTML table
Just to check the result
sort(outputs('NewData'), 'article')
The output:
| article | length | width | x | y |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DXFPAR0104_1 | 64.755 | 64.755 | 0 | OFF |
| DXFPAR0117_1 | 660 | 215 | 90 | OFF |
| DXFPAR0119_1 | 162 | 80 | 0 | OFF |
| DXFPAR0121_1 | 84.26 | 176.507 | 270 | OFF |
| DXFPART4_1 | 1200 | 650.002 | 270 | OFF |
| DXFPUNC0_1 | 293 | 162 | 180 | OFF |
| DXFPUNC5_1 | 670 | 257.07 | 0 | OFF |
| DXFSHEA2_1 | 2057 | 437.67 | 0 | OFF |
| DXFSHEA3_1 | 2157 | 496.33 | 0 | OFF |
| DXFSHEA4_1 | 636 | 281 | 90 | OFF |
| DXFSHEA7_1 | 100 | 50 | 90 | OFF |
| DXFSHEA7_1 | 100 | 50 | 0 | OFF |
Note that there are two rows with article DXFSHEA7_1 because the y values are different.
To get only one row per article you need to define which row to use and depending on this the object creation may be different.
Hopefully this is what you're after. I was trying to do it without using a loop, but no luck there.
See full flow below. I'll go into each of the actions.
Get file content using path retrieves the file.
Compose converts the file content to text using the following expression.
base64ToString(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body']?['$content'])
Filter array Rows splits each row by carriage return and new line, then skips the first 5 rows (headers), and removes any empty rows (seems there are a few empty rows at the end of the file).
//From
skip(split(outputs('Compose'), decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A')), 5)
//Condition
item()
Select uses the output from Filter array Rows and splits by space.
//Map
split(item(), ' ')
Initialize variable creates a variable called data of type Array and sets it as an empty array.
Apply to each uses the output from Select so it iterates over each of the rows of data.
Filter array uses the Current item (current row we are iterating over) and removes any empty items.
//Condition
item()
Append to array variable appends the fields for each item to the data variable.
{
"Artikel": @{body('Filter_array')?[0]},
"Länge": @{body('Filter_array')?[1]},
"Breite": @{body('Filter_array')?[2]},
"X": @{body('Filter_array')?[5]},
"Y": @{body('Filter_array')?[6]}
}
If we ran the flow now, the data array variable would contain an array of all the objects.
After the Apply to each, I've added a Compose called Output that shows the value of our data array.
A sample of the output is below (I've just shown the first 6 rows).

]Here's another more streamlined solution based on @Chriddle using replace to remove the spaces.
Get file content using path is the same as before.
Filter array uses the following expression.
//From
skip(
split(
replace(
replace(
replace(
replace(
base64ToString(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body']?['$content']),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
' ',
' '
),
decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A')
),
5
)
//Condition
item()
Select uses the output from Filter array and the following mappings.
//Artikel
split(item(), ' ')[0]
//Länge
split(item(), ' ')[1]
//Breite
split(item(), ' ')[2]
//X
split(item(), ' ')[5]
//Y
split(item(), ' ')[6]
