Get queries from data flow

Looking for a way to extract queries from data flows from PowerBI without keeping the formatted text that is pasted on there.   When I try to simply copy and paste the query from the dataflow there are all different sorts of "#lf"s for example that are inherent to the format.   Any way to extract just the raw queries?

    Is your spoiler block meant to include a screenshot? It looks blank when I expand it.

     

    Are you talking about native SQL queries in your dataflow's M code?

      Yes, I'm talking about how when a query is inserted into a data flow and I then view the query's within the "edit tables" interface of the data flow,  I am unable to see the native queries but only the queries with the data flow formatted characters inserted.  Is there any away I can view the queries without the data flow formatted characters once they're in the data flow?

       

      thanks
