CREATE FILE

Creates a new text file with the given content in the d3VIEW temporary directory, sanitizing the filename to prevent directory traversal. Use this worker whenever a downstream step needs a file artifact generated from inline or computed text content.

When to use

Tagged: file, file_create, sanitize, temporary_directory, text, tmp, write.

Inputs

Label	ID	Type	Default	Required	Description
Content	content	textarea	—	✓	Full text content to write into the file; supports any plain-text format (e.g. CSV, JSON, keyword deck) and is exposed as a code editor in the UI.
Filename	filename	text	—	✓	Target filename (no path components) for the new file in the temporary directory; path separators are stripped automatically to prevent directory traversal.

Outputs

Label	ID	Type	Description
File	file	file	File artifact pointing to the newly written file in the temporary directory; pass this directly to downstream file-consuming workers.
Filename	filename	string	Sanitized filename (basename only) of the file that was written, after any directory-traversal characters have been removed.
Bytes Written	bytes_written	number	Integer count of bytes written to the file; useful for validating that content was not empty and the write succeeded.
Status	status	string	Human-readable status message confirming success and echoing the byte count and filename, or describing the failure reason.
File Path	file_path	text	Absolute filesystem path to the written file within the temporary directory; use when a downstream worker requires an explicit path string rather than a file object.
