  • TXT (comma delimited): data is written in a text file; one line for each row; commas separate column data

  • TXT (tab delimited): data is written in a text file; one line for each row; tab characters separate columns data

  • XLS - Excel: data is written in a Microsoft Excel file format. (You should have Microsoft Office installed, or at least the Excel file format ODBC driver.)
