I find it useful when the Textfile is several MB and automatically shipped via email. As you already know, if you use a simple csv writer or text writer, you should be able to zip the attribute files using the Zip icon button to the right of the dataset parameter. Otherwise in some scenarios you need the attributeFileWriter, instead of the text or csv Writers.

Same problem here :
I need to use AttributeFileWriter to create a file inside a ZIP but it dont work (AttributeFileWriter creates a folder named xxx.zip, not a zipfile).
I tried : C:\\Temp\\test.zip\\file.txt and AttributeFileWriter creates a test.zip folder not a zip.
