The easiest way for you seems to be to add an action in the mass action to export the data as text. You can see that documentation which explain how to create an action: [ www.hikashop.com/support/2013-08-08-00-1...s-action-plugin.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/2013-08-08-00-18-51/integrated-documentation/10-hikashop/168-create-you-own-mass-action-plugin.html) You can too see how the csv export is working and adapt it for a text export.
