Text File Append/Create The following properties can be set or changed on a selected "Append/Create" operation, available in the right panel:

File Content

In this field write the text information that your file will contain. If the file does not exist a new file with the name specified in the Text File Properties Dialog will be created containing the text written here. If the specified file already exists the content from this field will be appended at the end of the specified text file.

NoteThis field supports Formatted Type and the Smart Edit Control can be used.

ImportantThe "Create" operation can not be used when wildcards are defined in Text File Properties.

Operation

Create file with encoding

If this checkbox is ticked the content of the file will be saved using the encoding selected from the associated combobox. The following types of encodings can be used:

  • ANSI using System Code Page
  • UTF-8 with BOM
  • UTF-16 Little Endian with BOM

NoteThis option can be enabled only if the "Exclude" field from Text File Properties is left empty.

If the file exists append content

This option is meaningful only if the defined file in the Text File Properties Dialog already exists. If this checkbox is enabled the text from the "Field Content" will be appended at the end of the file. If this option is disabled the specified file will be instead overwritten with the content specified in the "Filed Content".
