can any one help me how to solve this problem

Lisa.

Hi,

what type of file format you want ?

you can use .txt. or you can use CSV,XLS extensions instead of that.

i am not getting why you need a file with .RTF format ? as the data we are downloading will be of characters ONLY in Raw format(text only)

why to go for RTF format(which is having different font attributes like bold,underlined etc..) ?

regards
