# Survey Export TXT

Survey Export TXT <img src="/files/qLS1sVXttD05fKPlOiKG" alt="Survey Export TXT" data-size="line"> 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](/3.x/teacher-guide/teacher-guide/plugins/survey-export-csv.md) if you plan to open the results in a spreadsheet
