>>You can do this in a million different ways, one of the the easiest is this:

>>Import from yourexcelfile xls
>>_vfp.DataToClip(,,1)
>>StrToFile(_cliptext,'yourtextfile.txt')

>>If this is not how you want the txt file to look like, you must provide more info. Since a txt file is just a text file, there is no standard for this file.
