How to Convert Stream Data Back to Raw (text) Data for Processing?

[Bhagya_pola]

I'm using Workflow Apps to store a PDF or DOC file in a Data Table. When I retrieve the file, its contents appear in a stream format. I need to convert this stream back into raw data (text) so I can process it further. Is there any approach to achieve this in Workato?

Try .to_s

Hi @Bhagya_pola ,
Below are my observations:
1. Extracted file content from drive are encoded hexdecimal + it is ZIP file format signature
where we cannot simply decode it .
2. If say your file of type ".TXT" then we can simply use .to_s formula to decode the message.

Thanks and Regards,
