How can I Extract Attribute Contents to a Text File?

You can use the EATTEXT command or (-EATTEXT) when scripting.

A typical Hurricane script would be as follows:

;BEGIN SCRIPT
;Command: -EATTEXT
-EATTEXT
;Enter the extraction type, [Objects/Currentdwg/Selectdwg] :C
C
;Extract data from external reference drawing? [Yes/No] :N
N
;Extract data from nested blocks? [Yes/No] :Y
Y
;Enter Template file path:

;Enter the output filetype[Csv/Txt/Xls/Mdb] :CSV
CSV
;Enter output filepath:
$FILEPATH$$FILENAME$.CSV
;[Yes/No] :
;END SCRIPT

Please note the use of the $FILEPATH$ & $FILENAME$ TAGS. (More info Dynamic TAGS here.)
