In a previous example, we extracted a file using the "tar" program.

we were interested in was called "hello.txt", and this was written into the
16+
`.cwl` file. This is not the best way to do this, as the filename may vary or
17+
be dependant on the input file(s) used. To avoid this we can specify the
18+
name of the file we want in the job parameters file (`.yml`). In this example,
19+
you will see how to reference the value of input parameters dynamically
20+
from other fields, which will allow us to then specify the name of the file to extract.
