Which Software Can I Use?
 

I'm trying to populate an old blog with about 1,000 posts. I got WP-Import to do most of the work. I have ten files in Notepad and was slowly breaking down each file. But, I can't save them as .txt. So I bought a Windows laptop that doubles as a tablet. ($20/month)

Now I need a program for Windows that allows me to save files as .txt. My amnesia won't let me remember what I used to use. I know I didn't use Word, that much I remember. I need .txt files so I can zip them and import them as drafts.

Please throw out suggestions for free programs I can use. Preferably a program that lets me save each file where I want but that's not vital. I know in Windows I can move files.

Notepad's default should be text (.txt) so I am not sure what you are doing that you would not be able to save notepad files as text files.

.

I'm using Notepad an iPad. Can't sit up in bed too long to use my laptop. I haven't found an app nor can you save where you want. Sucks when you have to ftp.

so you have 1,000 files with out a .txt extention?

Can you just rename in windows after the download?

Use DOS "rename" function?

Or turn off "hide extension" property, so you can rename?

I will have that many. Right now there's about a dozen files with about eighty posts each. I need to copy/paste each post into a txt file.

I don't know. Ten years ago I'd get into DOS and knew what to do. Now I don't remember how to do that. Something new isn't for me.

I'd like a program that saves as txt

Notepad on ipad is one program.

Notepad (included free inside Windows) is a different program. They share the same name and are both text editors but that's all, no other direct similarities.
Notepad on Windows saves files as .txt as default.

In Windows 10. I change the file type to "all files" and I can rename to whatever file type I want. With whatever extension I want.
