How can I export directly to a txt file?
I have a report that is formatted with line breaks and I need to export it to a txt file. I can not use a csv or tsv because it wraps each record in quotes. How can I export directly to a txt file?

QuickBase correctly formats and exports CSV and TSV files and they are text files. Take a look at the output from this URL referencing four records in the Formula Function Reference table:
Records 17 and 16 contain multi-line text in the [Examples] Field which is correctly formatted.
More than likely whatever downsteam system you are feeding this into is not being used properly. I would investigate that as the source of your problem.
