Depends on whether you want to create the text file with every LOOP packet, or every archive record. See this <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#_____________LOOP_packets_vs._archive_records_> for the difference.
If you want to create a text file with every new LOOP packet then, yes, you would have to change the source code of the service to change the output. This is because, with the present architecture, services do not have access to the report generator machinery. However, if you want to create a text file with every archive record, then that's what the reporting machinery is for. The user need only change a configuration file, or a template, not code. Which did you want to do?
