Hi All,

I have what is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to figure it out.

In my workflow i'm turning a datatable into a CSV file (string Result) then i want to export the CSV file to a folder on the computer using WriteFile but i'm not sure what to put for Bytes since the CSV file Result is in String format.....

Any ideas?

  Thank you Ryan! 

  I'm assuming that System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string) is the variable type I will assign to my CVS output, however it doesn't to exist in my .Net Type Variables when I look to import it.

  Only System.Text.Encoding exists, am I missing something? Or do I need to download it? 

   

   

  Thanks again.

  Hi Robin,

  System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string) is a method. It accepts a string and returns a byte array. You shouldn't need to use an import here.
