"How to aggregate example sets in a CSV files"

Hello,

I am currently giving a try at rapidminer for time series prediction.
I have a setup where I make a windowed data set, and make a prediction for the next event in my time series.
I would like to save as CSV the prediction, but the CSV writer does not support appending apparently, and overwrites the file for each new prediction made. Is there a way to do this easily? I am sure there are far better processes to do something like this...

Thank you

Alexandre

    Answer to my own question:

    Easiest way for me was to use Write Special Format instead of CSV export.
    Apparently many operators support appending data. It's pretty bad that the CSV doesn't.

    Hi,
    we are currently revising the the operators, but to be sure, you should go to bugs.rapid-i.com and insert a feature request for that, if not already present.

    Greetings,
      Sebastian
