Example

stream = modeler.script.stream()
outputfile = stream.createAt("outputfile", "File Output", 200, 200)
outputfile.setPropertyValue("full_filename", "c:/output/flatfile_output.txt")
outputfile.setPropertyValue("write_mode", "Append")
outputfile.setPropertyValue("inc_field_names", False)
outputfile.setPropertyValue("use_newline_after_records", False)
outputfile.setPropertyValue("delimit_mode", "Tab")
outputfile.setPropertyValue("other_delimiter", ",")
outputfile.setPropertyValue("quote_mode", "Double")
outputfile.setPropertyValue("other_quote", "*")
