| File | Details |
|---|---|

| Text to write | Input some fixed text to be written to file each time Action is executed or use variables to write relevant Task or system relative text. |
| Browse |  Use Browse to select a particular file or folder on local disk, network share on LAN (local area network), etc. |

Notes
- Automation Workshop supports Unicode file names, and path up to 32,000 characters.
- The maximum text block that can be written (or appended) to a file is 4GB. For ASCII the limit is about 4 billion and for Unicode—2 billion characters.
- Files written by Write File Action can be 2 or 3 bytes bigger than the original amount of text, if saved in the Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16 format. Those bytes are the Unicode encoding signature (BOM) and are saved at the beginning of the file.
