Create File Name (legacy)

This node takes a base directory path, a file name, and a file extension to create a new file path. Inputs can be entered in the configure dialog, or optionally set by flow variables. The output is a flow variable, which can typically be used as input for a writer node (e.g CSV Writer, Table Writer, etc).

This legacy file handling node has been replaced by Create File/Folder Variables and will be deprecated in the foreseeable future. For further information about the new file handling framework see the File Handling Guide.

Options

Base directory: Specify the base directory where the file will be located.
File name: Specify the name of the file. Some special characters, such as /, \, ?, *, :, <, >, ", | will be rejected. For Windows platform, a name that resembles any forbidden windows filename will also be rejected. For more information about the forbidden windows filename, please check the Microsoft website .
File extension: Specify the extension of the file. Users can input their own extension if it's not available in the drop-down list. The dot (.) can optionally be included, but is not necessary. In case it is omitted it will be automatically inserted. Note: Only alphanumeric characters are allowed.
