Should have asked sooner slight_smile FYI for future readers below was the updated script to make it work from perspective from StringIO import StringIO import csv fileContents = event.file.getString("UTF-8") reader = csv.DictReader(StringIO(fileContents)) for row in reader: system.perspective.print(row) Thanks again!
