Export Text

About this Block

What it does: Exports text to a file. The text input can come from Concatenate Text, Text from Scalar, Validate, or Text Variable blocks. Files can be exported as either Text File (TXT) or Comma-Separated Value file (CSV). Common uses:

• Exporting text files for use in alternative software.

Tips:

• Can export a list of text to a single file
• Scalar results can be converted to text using Text from Scalar, and text blocks can be combined using Concatenate Text, allowing for comma-separated tables of data to be exported to a text file
• List processing can be used to export multiple text objects to multiple files. Just be sure to specify different file paths for each text object (using a File Path List) so the files don’t get overwritten.
• Can be used for the analysis of lattice beam angles
