Download TXT file from WinSCP

Hi all,

 

I am new to using SFTP or macros and I'm not sure how to create a flow to automate the below process. 

 

I'm trying to automate a process where I need to:

  • Log in to WinSCP,
  • Look for a specific folder,
  • Look for the most recent Txt file posted in that folder,
  • Download the Txt file.
  • After the Txt file is downloaded. The txt does not have column names.
  • I need to look for a document number and remove the additional data, each line starts with H and that line contains the document number, and then there are more lines starting with L. Hence I need to copy the information from the first line "H" till the last line "L" (before the new line with H).

Is there someone in this community who has faced a scenery like this one or if someone who can provide me with some ideas on how to perform a flow to complete this process?
