Hello everyone,
In my flow I have a watch node watching a folder that receives multiple XML files. I then use a switch node to traffic the flow by filename and then would like to parse the XML to a JS object. However, I receive "Error: Invalid character in name".
I tried looking it up and saw that someone once said that it occures when keys begins with numbers in the xml file, however this is not the case in my situtation.
What am I doing wrong?
This is my flow:
