How to export DataTable on Primefaces with .txt format?

I want to export a datatable in .txt form with a vertical bar ("|") separator.

Is there any sample code that can be used for this case? The showcase on primefaces is too complex and doesn't work for me.

You should be able to reuse csv exporter, and define attribute options of p:dataExporter with a new instance of CSVOptions. From there, you'll be able to define your own delimiter.

See a sample here https://primefaces.github.io/primefaces/11_0_0/#/components/dataexporter?id=customization

If txt extension is that important to you, maybe you can try to inherit from DataTableCSVExporter and override DataTableCSVExporter#getContentType and DataTableCSVExporter#getFileExtension methods

See a sample here https://primefaces.github.io/primefaces/11_0_0/#/components/dataexporter?id=custom-export
