# Hi, I am trying to make a dashboard that save the input text into a file in CSV format, or append the data to an existing format. Here is my flow : [flows (1).json](https://discourse.nodered.org/uploads/short-url/uwX1gKhxYQGfHB6wtAzBse3977g.json) (4.8 KB)

the file will be like this :  
name1, familyname1, age1  
name2, familyname2, age2  
name3, familyname3, age3

I am very new to the programming and node red, if you could help me in this it would be appreciated.

thanks
