With the release of the Generate CSV file action, is there any chance of releasing a similar action to Generate TXT file?

One use case I have is using template fields to create a CSV similar to this video:

> [@How To: CSV Export and send as email](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-csv-export-and-send-as-email/31618):

> Below is a short tutorial that demonstrates how to generate a CSV export from Glide, and send it as an email attachment using Integromat. This uses the joined list technique that was originally described by @Purvang_Joshi [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/export-glide-table-google-sheet-data-to-csv-using-joined-list-apps-script/27467). I hope others find it useful slight_smile

ie. not just exporting all the rows for selected columns.

Another is exporting JSON format data for use in other apps.
