Use csv file uploaded

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi,

I’m trying to build a workflow where I can upload a csv file in one User Task and the contents of this csv file is checked.
I did find reference to how to upload a file. I can see that it creates a variable of type File. I was wondering how this can be converted to a variable(say like json or string) which I can use in a later task.

Thanks in advance.

@etp files will be stored as BLOB in camunda.

Files can be uploaded using the cam-variable-name and cam-variable-type directives:

<input type="file"
  cam-variable-name="INVOICE_DOCUMENT"
  cam-variable-type="File"
  cam-max-filesize="10000000" />

@aravindhrs Thanks for your response. But I have already implemented the upload. The question was more of how to convert the cam variable(which is of type File) into a string variable, for example.
The file is uploaded is basically in the form

a,b,c
d,e,f,g
h,i

Any Pointers?
