====TextFile====

The TextFile output module allows you to write data to a simple text file.

Note that this text file will contain only the //live values// currently being read - it doesn't maintain a log of events or values (see [[LogFile]] if you want that). 

This is often used with older systems reading data through FTP.

===Example===

<code>
[
   {
       "method": "textfile",
       "filename": "c:\tmp\myfile.txt"
   }
]
</code>

//The above example would send values to a plain text file at **c:\tmp\myfile.txt** on Windows systems//.
