Has anyone had an issue when writing to text file, it prefixes each entry with a 'space' character?
It is writing each new line nicely, appending to the existing data, but the data it writes always is inserted with a leading space.
I can confirm the row being sent to be added to the text file does not have any leading space:
When this is written, a space is appearing!
Where do the source text lines come from?
Didn't the AttributeTrimmer work to trim the space character?

yes it does trim the character, I can see the attribute does not have a leading space right before being inserted to the text writer (as per above screenshot).
source is an attribute manager where I build that string, right before inserting into the text writer.
Note I have just tried using a CSV writer and it works perfectly fine, so that tells me the string being inserted is fine, it is the text file writer appending the leading space.
I no longer need an answer to solve this projects issue, but now I am just curious as to why it added the space in the first place.
