Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-9971:
------------------------------------
So you want to append a number of chars before appending the file content?
> file2 component should support appending chars in append mode
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CAMEL-9971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9971
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.17.0
> Reporter: James Green
> Priority: Trivial
>
> I've found some code in a route that writes a message to a file with
> `fileExist=Append` as an option.
> To my surprise it first goes through a processor that adds a newline
> character to the end of the text message. It seems our reader (Logstash)
> requires one-message-per-line in it's input files.
> Of course, if we re-pointed ourselves at a message broker instead of file:
> the newline-appender processor becomes redundant and thus our code would need
> to change so it doesn't feel right at all.
> If we had a `appendChars` option we could do `&appendChars=\n` instead on the
> file endpoint uri which feels more natural.
