Describe the problem/error/question

I want a n8n workflow that set of data from a table should be custom delimited and shown in a file.
I done a binary node but it doesn’t view and download the file. It only shows the “shows binary data” and it is nothing. How to solve this issue.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

hello @aiswarya_ms

Don’t use such an old n8n, the new version has Convert to File node, Extract from File node and Read/Write File node which works with files and their content

Hi @barn4k
I know. But Is there any possible way to view the binary file.
Basically my need is store a file having data with custom delimiter.

You can load the binary file with Extract Node (or Read Files node) and then convert it to CSV with custom delimiter

I tried using the write binary file node. But something is not correct.

Thank u @barn4k .
I tried using the write binary node in the 0.168.2 version. But something getting wrong.

I can’t say anything about old nodes. Move Binary ans Read/Write Binary nodes has been removed since v.1
