CSV stands for "comma separated values" and is just plain text with commas
separating data fields, like this:
Arthur,Clarke,[EMAIL PROTECTED],+44 31 32 33 34
So all you would have to do is take your text file, do a search and replace
(e.g. in Word) to change the tabs (or whatever) to commas, and rename the
file from export.txt to export.csv. Just make sure if a field has a comma in
the value (e.g. 123 Maple Street, Apt. 13) to enclose it in quotes so the
importing program doesn't interpret a field with a comma in it as two
separate fields.
