Your Question
I use STATA to create a coding file and STATA has options for exporting txt files. what are the requirements for the txt format of coding files? Is it text-delimited as described here https://www.stata.com/features/overview/importing-and-exporting-text-delimited-data/ or something else? I just want to ensure that I choose the appropriate format for the txt file when exporting it from STATA.

What language of text are you trying to analyze?
English

Please see the manual section A.2.5 or example coding file: codes_from_tag2.txt. We call this a "coding rule file" and it's a text file.

And I don't use STATA and I am not sure about it.

If someone needs to use STATA to generate txt file for khcoder, I figured it out. the STATA command for extracting variable "var" is
outfile var using mydata.txt, wide noquote

In this case, the txt file is extracted in plain text file and it is perfectly readable in khcoder on Mac.
