I'm looking for a little help with regard to appending to a csv file.
I want to output statistics (how many records are invalidated at every stage) in a readable form.
Various nodes and graphs will append to the statistics file in a directory.

The output to BRD node has the option of appending data, but the output isn't easily readable.

Alternatively, I'm looking for an easy design to check for file existence, create if necessary, and append
the current data to the end.

Thanks Paul

Current design is a bit of a hash.
I now export to a temporary CSV file and then use appendFile to append to the correct file and deleteFile to remove the temporary one.
It's a pity all file output nodes don't have the append/create options that the outpout to brd file does.

Hi,

I think the solution you are using is probably the best way to do this at the moment.
I have raised the ability to have append functionality for CSV and delimited files as an enhancement request in our system.
This has been raised in our system with issue number: 5222.

Regards,
Tim.
