Actions as  "Input Data (csv) --> FindReplace --> Output Data" workflow.

Thanks,

Hi @kpsrawat 

Here is replace function which you can leverage through formula tool.

If you have more scenarios find and replace scenarios use find and replace tool

Here you go. See attached an xml file (yxmd) as you described...

Hi @atcodedog05  / @PhilipMannering 

Need some clarity with respect to usage of FindReplace component 

In the workflow xml I can see TextInput component, Plugin="AlteryxBasePluginsGui.TextInput.TextInput"

Can you please confirm if this component is mandatory to use with FindReplace component ? 

Thanks,

Kunwar

Hi @atcodedog05 

Not an issue 😶

Can you share with me a simple job flow output xml file like below 

Input Flat File -----> Find Replace -----> Output Flat File

Hi @PhilipMannering 

The solution provided is correct as per the request. 

Need clarity as in one solution formula component is used where as in other Text Input component is used. So, I am looking for a simple basic workflow without using any addon's 

Input File ---> Find Replace ---> Output File 

So, that its easy for me to understand the XML behind FindReplace tool and start the implementation and later addup the addon features 

Thanks,

Kunwar
