Exporting a text file

When you export a text file, fields of information are separated by commas (,)
and entries (records) in the file are separated by carriage returns. Column
headings with the names of each field are included at the top of the file.

You can change the characters used to separate fields and entries in the text
file and you can add or remove column headings. See “Setting Miscellaneous
Options” in Chapter 10, “Setting Advanced Options,” for more information.

The following is another example of a text file you can export.
