Automation Workshop includes the Write to File Action that writes provided Unicode text or binary data into a specified file. Options include encoding selection (ASCII or UTF), and whether new data should be appended to the file or if it should be overwritten.
Features & highlights
- Automatically writes text to a file (the text can contain both fixed and variable parts).
- Read multiple files and combine them by using the Variable Wizard.
- It can automatically write text to a file using ASCII or Unicode encoding, including UTF-8 and UTF-16. Add an optional Unicode header (BOM).
