Plain Text is a format that opens in Notepad or Microsoft Excel depending on the file extension you use in the filePath parameter of the Export method. Use the extension .txt to open files in Notepad, or use .csv to open comma separated value files in Excel. The Text export filter has a number of useful properties that allow you to control your output. You can set the properties either in code using the TextExport object after adding reference to the following package in your project:
Text Export Properties
| Property | Valid Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Encoding | System.Text.ASCIIEncoding (default), System.Text.UnicodeEncoding, System.Text.UTF7Encoding, or System.Text.UTF8Encoding | This property can only be set in code. Enter an enumerated system encoding value to use for character encoding. |
| PageDelimiter | String | Enter a character or sequence of characters to mark the end of each page. |
