Hi,
This can be done quite easily using the code posted at http://xrmmatrix.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/creating-report-as-pdf-attachment-in.html
The post uses reporting services to generate a pdf from within client side javascript - so you just need to change this to create a text file instead.

Hi,
In the code, rather than use:
var params = getReportingSession();
use
var params = "Insert your text file content here"
Also, rather than the mime type of "application/json", use "text/plain"
Everything else is there in the code.

Hi,
The mimetype should be "text/plain" and the file name should simply be Provider Route Information.txt without the full path.
Are you asking how to upload a file from the local file system - if so, then you'll need something like : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14446447/javascript-read-local-text-file

Hi scott Durow ,
I changed as you mentioned even the email attachemnt is not created.
please check the code if any thing wrong.
function CreateEmailAttachment(actvid) {
var activitymimeattachment = Object();
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId = Object();
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.LogicalName = "email";
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.Id = actvid;
activitymimeattachment.ObjectTypeCode = "email",
activitymimeattachment.Subject = "File Attachment";
//activitymimeattachment.Body = "Sample content";
//SaveAsFile();
var sample="Hello World";
activitymimeattachment.Body = sample;
activitymimeattachment.FileName = "Provider Route Information.txt";
//Attachment call
activitymimeattachment.MimeType = "text/plain";
SDK.JQuery.createRecord(activitymimeattachment, "ActivityMimeAttachment", ActivityMimeAttachmentCallBack, errorHandler);The problem is here the body of email attachment .If I remove the' Body ' attribute of attachement .the attachment is creating ,but I am not able to write the contents to that attachement. please tell how can I write content
thanks and regards

You are missing the step to base64 encode the text file - in the original code I pointed you at there is a function that base64 encodes the body.

Hi Scott, Thanks for helping me.
I used the base64encode function in Body still the contents are not visible in that attachment . but the filesize showing 3 bytes . can you please correct this code.
var activitymimeattachment = Object();
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId = Object();
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.LogicalName = "email";
activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.Id = actvid;
activitymimeattachment.ObjectTypeCode = "email",
activitymimeattachment.Subject = "File Attachment";
var sample = new Array();
sample.push("sample");
sample.push("content");
activitymimeattachment.Body = encode64(sample);
activitymimeattachment.FileName = "RoundTripRouteFinder.txt";
activitymimeattachment.MimeType = "text/plain";
SDK.JQuery.createRecord(activitymimeattachment, "ActivityMimeAttachment", function ActivityMimeAttachmentCallBack(result) { }, errorHandler);Thanks and regards
