I have a txt file that i want to parse and convert to appian value. What do i use for this?
Thank you.
P.S. (readTextFromFile() was the previous function for this but was already unavailable in the current appian version)

I think you'll find that readTextFromFile() is actually a function available in a plug-in:
community.appian.com/.../text-file-reader
...so not dependent upon the version of Appian.
Are there any other ways aside from using a plugin?
...at this point (if I were consulting with you) I'd wan t to ask what your use case is - why you need to access the content of a text file, where it's coming from, what it contains and whether there might not be other options of transporting that data into Appian (e.g. via a WebAPI...assuming that it is coming from an external source)...and so forth...
It's coming from SFTP. The file parsing is recurrent (not just one time) and I need to save it as CDT
...and you have an issue with installing and using the referenced plug-in ?
Check if the "Text File Utilities" plugin is added in your environment. The function is part of the plugin.
