File Contents

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

  • System (default) – Uses the format of the current system.
  • None – No terminators are written.
  • Source – The format is derived from the source 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.

The default value is Binary (fme-binary), which ensures that the raw bytes are written in all cases.

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

FME Flow Parameters

Note  This parameter is only valid for users who are authoring for FME Flow'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.
