 I am using Read log file plug-in and getting the data as expected in list form. 
 My requirement is to write those data to any file(txt, csv or xls). 
 One way is to create the CDT for each log file we are reading and then use CDT to Excel plugin</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Read log file and write the data to the file</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/77507?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2020 14:02:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:381f2935-807d-4cfe-8cda-b13ece0c90f0</guid><dc:creator>Steven Miccile</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Bringing the log data into process in order to write it to a file is an anti-pattern that I would avoid since all the data will go into process memory and the design will not scale well.

&lt;p&gt;I tried using TEXT Doc from Template. In sample template, used ###content### to map the data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And within expression rule I used joinarray(local!a,char(13)&amp;amp;char(10)), where local!a is List of string from log file.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
