Survey Export TXT

Survey Export TXT exports a survey's results to a human-readable plain-text file — one block per respondent, listing each question, the chosen answer(s), and any open-text response, instead of a CSV's rows and columns.

Exporting a Survey

Once enabled, your course's Survey tool list gets an Export icon on each survey row. Click it to download the results as a .txt file.

What's in the File

• Anonymous surveys show "Anonymous" instead of identity details; non-anonymous surveys include the respondent's name and username

• Each respondent's answers are separated by a divider line, making the file easy to read top to bottom

• If no responses qualify for export, the file simply says so instead of failing

Tips

• Better for reading, CSV for analysis — Use this format when you want to read through responses directly; use Survey Export CSV if you plan to open the results in a spreadsheet
