# function write array to file

This block is part of the [`soap connection`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/soap%20connection) group and was last modified in core [`v14.0.1`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/140001).

Writes the incoming soap stream to a file. The selected key needs to be an array so the file can be streamed later on

- flow `flow`

- connection required `soapconnection`

- name required `value`

- request required `object`

- key required `value`

- options required `v14.0.2` `object` Allows setting basic request options like timeout (ms)

- flow `flow`

- success `condition`

- error `value`

- file `file`

A typical wiring for [function write array to file](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/soap%2520connection/soapconnection_request_function_file): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [soap function](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/soap%2520connection/soapconnection_request_function) feeds the `connection` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `name` pin; [new object](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/object/object_new_fields) feeds the `request` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `value` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_debug).
