**Example**

In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object and a *ToBytes* function transformation object. We will be writing the byte array, “48656C6C6F20576F726C64”, into a new, empty Test.txt file.

Where,

*filePath* = C:\Users\Kanwal.Azim\OneDrive - Astera Software\Desktop\Test.txt

*bytes* = 48656C6C6F20576F726C64

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* While the *Data Preview* will not generate an output, a new file with the specfied name will be created at the specified loaction, and the provided byte array will be written to this file, after being converted into a string value.
