Output raw (binary) data to a file

[bschwarz]

Hi !

I finally managed to access and download an Excel file from a SharePoint server, and now I would like to use it.

I know components such as tFileInputExcel allow to read the content of an excel sheet from a file, but I couldn't find anything to read the content from a (talend) flow. Therefore I resorted to write the flow to a temporary file which I'll then open with tFileInputExcel.

I did the file writing in a tJavaFlex, using an OutputStream, but I would like to know if there is a "cleaner" way to do that using a Talend component. In particular I didn't manage to use neither tFileOutputRaw nor tFileOutputDelimited for that.

Any thought on the subject ?

Sorry for the disturbance, actually you can directly save the file from the tHTTPClient component
