# Write File Output

With the help of the Write File Output Action it is possible to write all or part of the payload to a file at any point within a stream. Any file format that can be written by the operating system can be used for this.

#### Example:

If you want to write the stream log in a text file, you enter the path including file name and file extension within the node and use the wildcard: {stream.log} as input parameters. /Volumes/folder/folder/mytextfile.txt
