How to create text file in outsystems

Question

I want to create a text file in outsystems. I have data in an entity and I want to create a text file using that entity's attribute values.

Can anyone provide an example showing how this can be done?

You can use the TextToBinaryData function and use its result in the Download node as file content, with the Mime-type set to "text/plain".

The TextToBinaryData is available in the Binary extension which you probably have already installed in your environment, but perhaps you need to use add/remove references to make it available in your module.

You can use the Download node in any screen action as a terminal node (like the End node).
