How to get binary data to text?

[AtliHarðarson]

Hey,

I'm using write binary to get file into blue prism, how can I write out the binary data to text data item?

I'm shooting a http message and I need to have the binary file as my body so it's

[
{
File Contents "[BinaryData here]"
}
]

I need it as text, any ideas? Even getting it to clipboard could help me but I haven't been able to solve that either

Would the LoadTextFile(filepath) function work inside a calculation stage for your use case?

If your file is stored as a Binary Data Type and you need to BASE64 encode it to submet to an API, you can create a code stage within an object to do this for you:

Nailed it with that code stage. Thanks a lot James and sorry for the late reply on this!
