Examples
The following job creates a file called file.txt with one line of text. First, the stream-from-string function generates a stream from the text supplied as an argument. Next, the as-file function takes the stream as an argument and generates a temporary file from it. To copy the temporary file to a permanent path, the built-in copy function is called from a separate execution step. The file is copied to the working directory of the job (C:\FlowForce) and will be overwritten each time the job runs.
