Saving a Excel File into .txt format without quotes

by

I see this question is already answered, but wanted to offer an alternative in case someone else finds this later.

Depending on the required delimiter, it is possible to do this without writing any code. The original question does not give details on the desired output type but here is an alternative:

PRN File Type

The easiest option is to save the file as a “Formatted Text (Space Delimited)” type.
The VBA code line would look similar to this:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=myFileName, FileFormat:=xlTextPrinter, CreateBackup:=False

In Excel 2007, this will annoyingly put a .prn file extension on the end of the filename, but it can be changed to .txt by renaming manually.

In Excel 2010, you can specify any file extension you want in the Save As dialog.

One important thing to note: the number of delimiters used in the text file is related to the width of the Excel column.
