The way I handled this for my DBScript piece was to load the file into a temporary table in an immediate action, then use the table entries in the deferred CA. By loading the file immediately, you have access to all the properties, and can store it post-process. Then your deferred action can use it to write out the contents to disk, or whatever other activity you had planned.
