I want a .txt file I can email myself. I've tried like 5 apps and none of them seem to work. Android, please.

You're best bet is screen caps of the texts.
Upload the caps to a few online storage sites.
Dropbox
Mega
One Drive (through microsoft email)
I'm assuming you want these texts for proof (rape defense) to be used at a later date?

You receive a text and you want to export it ? Signal does that.

If it's the other way around I don't know.

Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral

Okay, I'm going per your headline here, your description is not exactly clear. If you want to convert between distinct text formats than I would recommend emacs or vi - those are command line editors. If you want to copy text into a text file and email it to you then all you have to do is to use a regular text editor, depending on your platform that would be TextEdit (OS X) or Notepad (Windooz). Make sure you use the .txt file extension.

FYI - it may be your email app that's giving you an issue. But that's outside the scope of this question. If you want a more thorough response then provide more details as to what you are doing.

I've got a long text convo (5000+ messages) on my phone and I want to convert it to a .txt file for reading/searching/cutting/pasting.

EDIT: Not worried about rape defence... this time

1. Do you mean SMS messages, in the default android SMS app?
2. In what way did the 5 apps you tried fail to work?
3. Have you tried using an SMS backup app?

Are you just telling us you're a techie, or do you really think a layman should use vi? And then immediately rip all his hair out in frustration?
