either: cut - paste - save (using some editor)

or: (if you have access to php or something else server-side)

when the form containing your textarea is executed, save the text to a file on the server (tmp-name) and show a download-link to that file on the next page.

I would first replace all of the '\r\n' characters in the textarea with ',\n' or something equivalent.

$text = [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php]str_replace[/url]("\r\n",",\n",$_POST["text"]);

Then you can write this to a file using fwrite [us2.php.net].

Good luck!
