save file as text

[wwrightchess]

I am trying to take columns of data from a spreadsheet and save it as a text file.
Saving as an excel workbook works fine. I have tried other text formats and have the same problem.

Dim myPath As String
Dim myName As String
Dim fullname As String
Dim i As Long
Dim filelist() As Variant

myPath = "/Volumes/MyPassport/parameter_studies/roughness/roughness_cases/"
ReDim filelist(0)
filelist(0) = myPath
fileAccessGranted = GrantAccessToMultipleFiles(filelist)
For i = 5 To 5
Workbooks("large_and_glaze_adjusted_clean.xlsx").Activate
myName = Cells(i, 1)
fullname = myPath & myName & "LE.xls"
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open filename:=fullname
Sheets("Ice Tracing").Select
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
