Hello, guys one question: I have a xlsx file in response, this I print in the terminal, but how I can see if the file is correct? I can’t do from terminal “save response in …”

I would also love to see an option to export terminal/output/variables as a CSV file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

A Write to File block will solve this usecase.

This feature is really helpful !

kiley-poole commented 2 years ago

Does a write to file block exist? In looking through all the blocks in flows, I didn't directly see one.

saswatds commented 2 years ago

Hey @kiley-poole we are working on it. We will add it soon

aurelien-boubennec commented 1 year ago

I don't see that block in the latest version, any update?

shamasis commented 1 year ago

Not yet. There are some things around the experience and tech of this that we need to iron out first.

But there's a way you can do this for local use - I found an easy piece of open source software that opens up a local server to save files sent to it. https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server-upload

Maybe use this to have Flows send the data to the local server API and save the file.

aurelien-boubennec commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the update, we will do that for the time being

A Write to file block is an exciting idea! It would solve a couple problems I'm currently having to solve manually.

RobertaColombo commented 11 months ago

Any news on the idea?
