Output
Export TXT
Writes the incoming rows to a delimited .txt file in a folder you choose and passes the rows on unchanged.
When to use it
Use it for fixed feeds that expect a tab or pipe separated text file rather than a comma-separated one.

Example
Pipe separated feed for a legacy loader
- File Name (without extension)=customer_feed
- Delimiter=Pipe (|)
- Line Ending=CRLF (Windows)
| Code | Name | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Acme Ltd | 240 |
| B2 | Borne SA | 95 |
| Code | Name | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Acme Ltd | 240 |
| B2 | Borne SA | 95 |
Values are separated by the chosen delimiter, and a value containing that delimiter is wrapped in quotes.
Worth knowing
- The delimiter defaults to Tab here, unlike Export CSV where it defaults to a comma.
- Match Line Ending and Encoding to what the receiving system expects, or the load can fail on the first row.
- A preview reports the target path without writing the file.
