Workflow Soluiton

I am trying to create a workflow with autostart from Email.

The flow is monitoring an exchange mailbox where a SMS gateway delivers incoming SMS. the SMS text is attached as a .txt file.

I need to extract the text inside the txt file and do some further processing.

I have tried the "Build text from element" and tried to save file and then "Read File" but no matter I just get a number back, not the text.

Can some one give me assistance.

Read File should put the .txt file on the stream as a FileDataType. Once the FileDataType is on the stream, you can use the Byte Array To Text component on the FileDataType's Contents (the Contents of a FileDataType are a byte array) to convert it to text.
