File type for reading in a batch file from text input

edmonj

I'm using this https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/Download-a-Zipped-Excel-File-from-an-Amazon-S3-Bucket-... as a reference for extracting an xlsx file from an S3 bucket in my workflow.  However, I keep getting errors when setting the write source file, and it never executes.  It works fine if I remove that part and only have the output from the run command, but I'd like to keep the ability to quickly edit the bat file in the text input due to needing a different file daily and needing to change the date on the file name.

Little more playing around and I was able to figure it out.  Needed to set it to CSV with a \0 delimiter.
