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?

Thank you. Yes that is true for multiline but not if there are manual line breaks which have been added into the field. It add quotes to keep it one record.
I am not following you here. I don't see any issue with what QuickBase outputs under any condition. If you have a workaround go with it but I still think the problem is with consuming the output from QuickBase downstream.
If you want to modify the raw output from QuickBase's export to make it conform to the exact format your downstream needs I am sure that is easy to do with script. But it really comes down to isolating exactly what characters and format your downstream process is choking on.
