Batch Execute Commands from Text File Lines
Reads a text file line-by-line and executes a customizable command for each line using n8n's on-premise Execute Command node in a self-looping workflow.
This n8n workflow automates batch command execution by reading a text file (e.g., filelist.txt), splitting its contents into an array, and iteratively running a command for each line. It starts with a manual trigger, reads the binary file, moves data to JSON, processes it in a Function node to create an array and track size, then uses the Execute Command node with $runIndex for looping. An IF node checks if more iterations are needed (runIndex < dataSize), enabling self-looping until complete, a
