  • 1.  New Fixed Format node does not work correctly

    Posted 05-22-2024 09:27

    I have a flow that has been working fine, but needed a tweak. I noticed that the Fixed Format File node i was using is deprecated .. so I tossed the new one, copied the field list over.. and ran it. Errors.

    No matter what I do.. this keeps telling me I have too many commas??

    I found that if I put : between the fields instead of a new line it works.. but this has 148 fields! I am not going to put colons between every field.. much to hard to find and change anything - is there a fix to this or do I just need to keep using the old node?

    Perhaps notepad++ regular expression search and replace? (/n to :)

    You mean put it all in one line?

    Sure I could but I dont want to.. if I have to review/change anything its going to be a pain.

    This should work the same as the old one. No reason it shouldnt...

    Hi Geoff,

    I have reproduced the issue you reported.

    The node should permit you to enter the field definitions on separate lines (as noted in the node help). I believe this is a bug and have forwarded the information to the Engineering team for review. For now I would suggest you continue to use the deprecated node
