File Browse .txt file in Alteryx Server

[garretwalters12]

Is it possible to upload a txt file in the alteryx server? See attached file browse configuration and error message.

Hi @garretwalters12 @Alteryx_Geek 

Using this works for me:

(*.txt)|*.txt|(*.TXT)|*.TXT

@Luke_C - THanks Luke. but it is not working when publishing on gallery and then when trying to run from gallery it says "not a known format"

[Luke_C]

@Alteryx_Geek Forgot a key part of this - what's your action tool doing? Make sure it's updating the file value and not replacing a specific string or set to the update input tool default.

@Luke_C  - D A M N bro, it worked, much appreciated !!!

if I were to select multiple text file then should I use "Folder Browse" ?

Hi @Alteryx_Geek 

Folder Browse is not supported on the gallery. Check out this link for the workaround

Thanks man.
