Input box, read ".del" files

Hi,

 

I am unable to read in .del files using an input box. Reading in normally with an input works fine.

Hi @wonka1234 

 

Do you mean the File Browse tool connected to an Input data tool via an Action tool like below?

 

I would try setting the file type on the Input data tool to CSV with the delimiter set as \0 as shown here.

Yes I mean the file brose took connected to an input via action. 

Tried the /0 delimiter, still getting error.

Hi @wonka1234 

 

I was able to reproduce your problem and got the same error.

 

I resolved it by changing the configuration of the Action tool as shown below:

 

1. Change Action Type to Update Value

2. Select File - value

3. Check Replace a specific string box
