Using Write to file action

Use the Write to file action to write data from a table into file in .csv or .txt format.

Considerations while using the Write to file action:

Data extracted from a table is written as text into a file that is in .csv or .txt format.
Source table typically contains four types of values (string, number, date & boolean). All these values will work with the Write to file action.
Data containing decimals are not truncated unless there is 0 at the end. For example, if the source table has 87.90490, the data is extracted as 87.9049.

Procedure

Double-click or drag Data table > Write to file.
Click the Data table name drop-down menu and select the table variable that contains the data that you want to write to a file.
Use the Enter file name field to specify the location of the file in which you want to write the data.
You can also click the Browse button and select the file.
Optional: Select the Create folders/files if it doesn't exist check box to create the file or folder that you specified in the Enter file name field.
In the When writing field, select one of the following options:
- Append to the existing file: to write the extracted data at the end of the existing file.
- Override existing file: to erase the existing content from the file and write data.
Click the Row delimiter drop-down menu and select the delimiter to use for rows from the source table.
Click the Column delimiter drop-down menu and select the delimiter to use for columns from the source table.
Optional: Click the Encoding drop-down menu to specify the encoding that you want to apply on the file.
The default encoding is set to ANSI
Click Save.
