Options tab of Read from File Action allows specifying exact region of file to be read into specified variable.
| Options | Details |
|---|---|
| Before reading file, skip first | Specifies the starting point in file starting from which data will be read into variable. If not specified, file is read from the beginning. |
| Read up to | Specify the amount of data to be read from file. If not specified, data are read until the end of file. |
| Size units |  Set file size limits in any preferred format—bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. |
| This Action is enabled | An Action is executed only if it is enabled. Otherwise, it will be automatically skipped (completely ignored) from the Task flow. |
| Use custom display name | Rename this Action, to make a human-readable workflow that will help you to find, read, and make sense of the Task structure later. |
| Advanced fallback options | Manage the advanced fallback options—select which error types will lead to automatic execution of predefined workaround operations. |
| Log only errors | Do not log information and warning messages for this Action. It may be useful to keep the log file small and tidy on production systems. |
Note
- When Read file Action is configured to skip specified amount of bytes from the beginning of the file, keep in mind that Unicode (UTF-16) characters are 2 bytes long each.
