file:write-text() did the trick—that did not occur to me at all.

Cheers,

Hi Eliot,

let $doWrite := file:write('/Users/eliot.kimber/temp/apps-to-topics.csv', $report)

file:write-text should do the job. An alternative is to use the serialization method 'text':

file:write($path, $value, map { 'method': 'text })

Hope this helps,

Christian
