should be like this:

classC;7000
Orange
classA;1000
classB;3000

Put your data in A1 thru A13 and then run:

Sub Macro1()
ChDir "C:\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Book1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, _
CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

This code will give you exactly what you posted

Sub SaveData()

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, _
ForAppending = 3

fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Text Files (*.txt), *.txt")
If fileSaveName = False Then
MsgBox ("Cannot Save File")
Exit Sub
End If

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.CreateTextFile(fileSaveName, True)

OutputLine = "Fruit" & Format(Date, "MMDDYYYY")
f.writeline OutputLine

Fruit = ""
RowCount = 1
Do While Range("A" & RowCount) <> ""
If Range("B" & RowCount) <> Fruit Then
Fruit = Range("B" & RowCount)
f.writeline Fruit
End If

f.writeline Range("D" & RowCount) & ";" & Range("C" & RowCount)

RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop
f.Close


End Sub
