## About this Block

**What it does:**
Exports text to a file. The text input can come from Concatenate Text, Text from Scalar, Validate, or Text Variable blocks. Files can be exported as either Text File (TXT) or Comma-Separated Value file (CSV).

**Common uses:**

* Exporting text files for use in alternative software.

**Tips:**

* Can export a list of text to a single file
* Scalar results can be converted to text using Text from Scalar, and text blocks can be combined using Concatenate Text, allowing for comma-separated tables of data to be exported to a text file
* List processing can be used to export multiple text objects to multiple files. Just be sure to specify different file paths for each text object (using a File Path List) so the files don’t get overwritten.
* Can be used for the analysis of lattice beam angles
* For information on all import/export file types: ([https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048249514](https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048249514))
