There is a CSV emitter available for BIRT. Would that work for you?

Thanks Micheal. Do you have steps to follow to make it work or link? would that download all the columns from the result set or can i have option like print #1?

Sorry for the delay. There are a couple different CSV emitters. Take a look at:

Hi,
 
I am newbie to BIRT. I'm now using Birt Version: 3.7.1. I need to generate .txt format file but what i can generate from birt is as below:
 
doc, html, odp, ods, odt, etc..
 
i wonder if there is any other way which can help me generte .txt format file from BIRT.
 
Thanks

You could either write a .txt emitter plugin. Or you could just create a text file and write to it from the script of your report design.
