True enough however the output is different so a little more work to
handle that - depends on how critical output format is.

e.g.
CREATE CURSOR w_test (fld1 N(10,2), fld2 c(30), fld3 c(40), fld4 T,
fld5 I,
fld6 L, fld7 d)

Delimited:
1.00,"1                             ","1
",16/08/2013 7:49:11 PM,35,.T.,17/08/2013

Textmerge
1.00, 1,1,16/08/2013 7:49:11 PM,35,T,17/08/2013

If file is small (less than the string limit) the easiest is possibly:
(It is also faster than textmerge by about 40%)

COPY TO c:\temp\myfile.tmp TYPE DELIMITED STRTOFILE("First Line Text"
+ CHR(13) + FILETOSTR("c:\temp\myfile.tmp"),
"c:\temp\myfile.txt")
ERASE c:\temp\myfile.tmp

No need to complicate things with fopen() and low-level IO for most
writing strings to a file tasks.

set textmerge on noshow
set textmerge to myfile.txt
\ Here's my first line that the client wants.
select mytable
scan
\<<field1>>,<<field2>>,<<field3>>,<<field4>>,<<field5>>,<<field6>>,<<f

endscan
set textmerge off
set textmerge to
