It lets you use Text File Tools in your n8n workflows.\n\nText File Tools is a module designed to process text-based files, offering functionalities like removing the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM), converting line endings, and skipping lines. It integrates seamlessly with n8n workflows to enhance text file processing capabilities.\n\n[n8n](https://n8n.io/) is a [fair-code licensed](https://docs.n8n.io/reference/license/) workflow automation platform.\n\n[Installation](#installation)  \n[Operations](#operations)  \n[Credentials](#credentials)  \n[Compatibility](#compatibility)  \n[Usage](#usage)  \n[Resources](#resources)  \n\n## Installation\n\nFollow the [installation guide](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation/) in the n8n community nodes documentation.\n\n## Operations\n\n- Remove UTF-8 BOM from text files\n- Convert line endings between LF and CRLF\n- Skip specified number of lines from the start of text files\n\n## Credentials\n\n_No authentication is required for this node._\n\n## Compatibility\n\nThis node is compatible with n8n version 0.150.0 and above. It has been tested with the latest versions of n8n.\n\n## Usage\n\n_This node is straightforward to use for users familiar with n8n. For new users, refer to the [Try it out](https://docs.n8n.io/try-it-out/) documentation to get started._\n\n## TextFileTools Module\n\nThe `TextFileTools` module is designed to process text-based files with functionalities such as removing the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM), converting line endings, and skipping lines. This module is part of the n8n workflow automation tool and provides the following features:\n\n### Properties\n\n- **Binary Property Name**: The name of the binary property containing the text file. Default is 'data'.\n- **Strip UTF-8 BOM**: A boolean option to remove the UTF-8 BOM if present.\n- **Convert Line Endings**: A boolean option to enable conversion of line endings between LF and CRLF.\n- **Line Ending Conversion**: Options to convert line endings from LF to CRLF or vice versa.\n- **Skip First N Lines**: A boolean option to enable skipping the first N lines of the text file.\n- **Number of Lines to Skip**: Specifies how many lines to skip from the start of the file.\n\n### Execution Logic\n\nThe `TextFileTools` node processes each input item by:\n1. Checking if the specified binary data exists.\n2. Optionally removing the UTF-8 BOM.\n3. Converting line endings if enabled.\n4. Skipping the first N lines if enabled.\n5. Converting the processed content back to binary format.\n\nThis node is useful for preparing text files for further processing in workflows, ensuring consistent file formats and contents.\n\n## Resources\n\n* [n8n community nodes documentation](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/)\n\n\n## License\n\nMIT.
