EXTRACT condition

[Arsha ap]

I have flow that gets file abd.json from the server .
The extract condition Should read the file to check for {} or {"withdata,numberandspecialcharacters in it"}.
If the file has only {} then finish the flow ,if file has data then send email to user .


I tried the extract condition with different regex and offset combos ,but every time the extract condition comes with search not found comment.
File will have just 1 line. 

Looking for suggestions. 

p.s- new to uc4

You could use PREP_PROCESS_FILE and search for {}. https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AWA/11.2/AE/11.2/All%20Guides/Content/ucaafq.htm

If you get any rows returned it's a dataless file. You can the take the appropriate action using ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AWA/11.2/AE/11.2/All%20Guides/Content/ucaafh.htm.

Hi 

Is there a way to achieve something as in the link.
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/intelligent-automation/applications-manager/9-3/Development_Guide/Working_with_Conditions/Using_Conditions_to_Accomplish_Common_Tasks/Extracting_Text_from_Files.html

I am not sure where i get to do the prep_process_file.

That's Applications Manager.

Are you sure you're on the right forum?

This is the Automic forum.
