I want to upload a file in my workflow with the node “read/write files from disk” but I get this error: Problem running workflow Missing ) after argument list

Workflow:

{
“nodes”: [
{
“parameters”: {},
“type”: “n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger”,
“typeVersion”: 1,
“position”: [
0,
0
],
“id”: “d5834ea6-c7d4-48e6-8321-a8a9820560a4”,
“name”: “When clicking ‘Test workflow’”
},
{
“parameters”: {
“fileSelector”: “C:/Users/MLvan’t/Documents/batchschoenenzondermerk.xlsx”,
“options”: {}
},
“type”: “n8n-nodes-base.readWriteFile”,
“typeVersion”: 1,
“position”: [

],
“id”: “984297fa-a955-41e6-9aa4-6e8e37b77980”,
“name”: “Read/Write Files from Disk”
}
],
“connections”: {
“When clicking ‘Test workflow’”: {
“main”: [
[
{
“node”: “Read/Write Files from Disk”,
“type”: “main”,
“index”: 0
}
]
]
}
},
“pinData”: {},
“meta”: {
“instanceId”: “8a8ff9c7f5dd390190a5f5826461e553fb03131534f9d43d3f2c03e754c3cda5”
}
}

Is it going wrong because of the ’ in my username? Or maybe something went wrong with the installation?

Hi,

I don’t think the ’ will be the problem, but you could try from another directory.

I’ve tried over here and it works. But im using all kinds of mappings so it might give different results.

Btw there is also a node wich is called “extract from xlsx” if that would suit your needs.

reg,
J.
