because I'm trying to screen scrape a ssl site. (my
retirement info) I can only use txt as an output option.

when I save the file and then open it. the output from the
file is set to a fixed length. which causes some line to
be broken into two line.

how can i save to a txt file and not have this happen.

ex. output
first fund 122345 $12.50 2.00 $13.00
second fund 12f2345 $12.50 2.00
$13.00
third fund 122345 $12.50 2.00 $13.00

Have you tried to copy and paste it into, say, Wordpad?
