Wait... you mean you have been writing more than one line of code all this time? I can't believe you haven't used the command: 'do everything for me (and read my mind while you are at it)' Sorry, I couldn't resist! :D Most of the time when people upload a file, it is meant to be retained. Otherwise why bother with an upload instead of a text field in a form, if you know it is going to be plain text? Feel free to make a feature request on the issue tracker, but don't wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime you will have to suffer the unbearable torture of writing 3 extra lines of code: copy upload($ref; $path) document to blob($path; $blob) blob to text($blob; UTF8 Text without length; 0; get upload size($ref)) delete document($path) Of course you will have to hope the user hasn't done anything stupid or malicious by uploading binary content disguised as text or by uploading a huge file which will eat all of the server's memory and cause it to freeze/crash when you load 2 copies of it into memory (1 for the blob, 1 for the converted text).
