# `FileWriterTool`
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The `FileWriterTool` is a component of the crewai_tools package, designed to simplify the process of writing content to files with cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, macOS).
|
|
It is particularly useful in scenarios such as generating reports, saving logs, creating configuration files, and more.
|
|
This tool handles path differences across operating systems, supports UTF-8 encoding, and automatically creates directories if they don't exist, making it easier to organize your output reliably across different platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install the crewai_tools package to use the `FileWriterTool` in your projects:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
To get started with the `FileWriterTool`:
|
|
|
|
```python Code
|
|
from crewai_tools import FileWriterTool
|
|
|
|
# Initialize the tool
|
|
file_writer_tool = FileWriterTool()
|
|
|
|
# Write content to a file in a specified directory
|
|
result = file_writer_tool._run('example.txt', 'This is a test content.', 'test_directory')
|
|
print(result)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arguments
|
|
|
|
- `filename`: The name of the file you want to create or overwrite.
|
|
- `content`: The content to write into the file.
|
|
- `directory` (optional): The path to the directory where the file will be created. Defaults to the current directory (`.`). If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
By integrating the `FileWriterTool` into your crews, the agents can reliably write content to files across different operating systems.
|
|
This tool is essential for tasks that require saving output data, creating structured file systems, and handling cross-platform file operations.
|
|
It's particularly recommended for Windows users who may encounter file writing issues with standard Python file operations.
|
|
|
|
By adhering to the setup and usage guidelines provided, incorporating this tool into projects is straightforward and ensures consistent file writing behavior across all platforms.
