Convert Gdrive document download into string to send to GPT

[jmal]

Hi all,

I am trying to get GPT to analyse a file for me. The file is in csv format and thus not supported by the assistant file upload path.

I now have the file on Gdrive and downloard it with the respective make module. I think the resulting data is in base64 (?), how do I convert this into a (csv) string or some format that I can feed into GPT?

Thanks a lot!!

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use the built-in function toString

e.g.:

{{ toString(7.data) }}

For more information, see the function documentation in the Help Center.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
