Read file properties

Hi,

I want to read a file from the Thingworx server which is being send from a device every 5 mins. I need to read it and display the columns in a mashup. Can anyone help me how to do this.

You should look at FileRepository services, this Uploaded files should reside on a FileRepository thing.

Soumya, what sort of properties are you looking for? Basic ones like name, size, type etc? Once it is on your repository, as Carles mentioned, you can use a service like 'GetFileListing' on your Repository Thing to display the file with its properties.

Hi Ravi,

I want to to read the text.log which will be sent from a remote device every 5 mins. I have to parse the below 4-5 properties from the file. The structure is shown below.
