i have a text file which has multiple XML documents. which starts with <POSTransaction xmlns i am trying to break each one of the XML docs into 1 flow-file so i can then use evaluate XML and then convert into JSOn and then load into a database.
i tried just the split content and that didnt work. the file is UTF 8 not sure if that plays into it. and i am running the nifi on linux and the file is also local on linux.
