I have a csv separated by semicolon. Some lines have too many semicolons (bad data). To clean up the data I have read the csv with a Text File Reader to read line-by-line and used an AttributeCreator to create an attribute for the number of semicolons in each line. Then I followed that up with a Tester to retrieve the lines with the correct number of semicolons (clean data). Now I have this text line data and need to write back to a csv. I cannot figure out how to write to a csv from the text line data.

You can use the Text writer and append to the existing CSV file or write to a new file (using the filename <my_filename>.csv).
