The name Léa Mattéo contains an accent symbol that makes the encoding necessary. When the formula 'ReadFile' is used for this data, the accent symbol will not be recognized.Therefore the formula 'ReadFileWithEncoding' has to be used.
Values parameters
FileName:
Fill in the entire path of the xml file
Result
Result:
Léa Mattéo
To see why encoding is necessary now, try reading the file with the 'ReadFile' formula, and compare the results.
