## Export Bean Properties and Use

### Properties

The Export Bean panel provides these options:

Export to File Name
  Enter the name of a file to write data buffer content. Use the Browse button to select a file.
Delimiters
  Select one of the following delimiters:
  Spaces use spaces between fields.
  Commas use commas between fields.
  Tabs use tab characters between fields.

### Use

The Export Bean panel is used to specify and operate on a file to which its input data is appended. It is often used after a filter bean to translate neural network outputs.

Steps in using the panel include:

1. Enter the name of the export file to receive the data.
2. Select Spaces or Commas as the delimiter.
3. Press the Open file, Close file, or Erase file buttons as desired.

No data can be written to the file until it is opened, and dataflow into the bean is enabled. You also will not be able to use a text editor to browse newly written data until the file has been closed.
