Text File Writer Parameters

• Yes (default): Overwrites the existing destination file.
• No: Appends to the existing destination file.

Specifies the format of line terminators to be used in the output file.

Specifies whether the final line in the file should be terminated with an End of Line (EOL) character appropriate to the Line Termination parameter.

Controls which character encoding is used when writing the output file. If the value is not set, then the character encoding will be automatically detected from the system on which the translation is being performed.

Note that only the UTF encodings are stored by the format in the form of a Byte Order Marker (BOM), which is written optionally but by default when one of these encodings is chosen, and will be detected automatically when reading. All other character sets will need to be explicitly identified or they will be read as system.

This option specifies whether the byte order mark for UTF encoded file should be written at the beginning. This option applies only when the encoding is set to a UTF encoding.

This parameter is only valid for users who are authoring for FME Server's streaming service, and would like to be able to create HTML files on the fly for streaming into the browser (as opposed to streaming plain text back to the browser).

By adjusting this setting, the user is communicating to and storing in the workspace information on how the text file will be streamed back if it is used in the streaming service.

The valid values for this parameter include all valid MIME types. Several common types are listed and others can be entered as text strings.
