HELP
In Logic Base Studio, files are manipulated using a 'File Data Type' variable which is used to represent a file that may or may not actually exist on your file system or at a url. Most of the time when you want to do something like attach a file to an email message, you will need to use a 'File Data Type' instead of referring to the file directly. A File Data Type is simply a variable in Logic Base the reprsents a file and the things associated with a file. You can create a File Data Type variable using a number of components like: Create Text File, or Read File from URL. To access files on the local file system use file:// instead of http://
USAGE
To configure this component, simply enter the name of the file you wish to create, add data to serve as initial file contents, and then set a variable within your project to act as output. The output variable can be used later in the project to refer to your file (in case you want to write to it, read from it, or attach it as an email attachment).
