So create it.
Any old text editor will do.
The whole point is, I believe that you are writing a program to read a 
file created by some other application, perhaps a web application or 
database reporting tool. (or in this case Notepad, say).

How the file is created is irrelevant so long as it has the data that 
you want to extract within it.
