Reading Suitelet CSV File upload

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:37AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 11 comments

I have created a Suitelet to upload a CSV file (text format) and process it's content.

The problem I have found is that although the CSV is in plain text format, the file seems to get uploaded as a binary file in NetSuite.

Now for the strange thing, if I rename the same file to a .txt extension the file uploads as plain text and I can read the contents. It seems NetSuite determines the file format by extension. Using getType() it states that the .txt file is PLAINTEXT and the .csv file is EXCEL, even though as mentioned previously, it is the same file that has just been renamed.

Howdy, Stranger!
