"Write to Text problem"

mavi16ab

So I have a Text file that I read, and then continue to do some filtering on. At the end of the process, I would like to create a .txt file with all the text from my Example Set. I use the Write to Text operator, but it only writes the amount of examples in the .txt file it creates. Am I using it wrong?

Code for my process:

Try using the Write Document operator.  You will need to group the collect and change the data to documents for it to work. Also when you write the extension for the file in the Write Document operator make sure you remove the ".*" at the end of the file name.
