Hello Guys,

 

I am newbie to Alteryx. I need to know how I can decrypt an encrypted flat file using Alteryx? 

 

Your inputs are appreciated.

Hi @rajcool274u,

 

What type of encrypted flat file is it? Excel, ZIP, txt with encrypted content, etc?

 

Best,

Ryan

It is a fixed text file with PGP encryption.

To my knowledge this is not able to be done natively. You could use python and gnupg or call the program that decrypts the files if applicable.
