Been having troubles with the sheet_to_json, but I noticed there was a sheet_to_txt designed, but not in the utils. added in my copy, works perfect for my needs.

If this could be fixed in the online copy, would be cool.

Great package.

It could be useful to expose, but there are likely other ways to do what you want. If you just want a tab-delimited rendering, you can pass the FS:"\t" option to sheet_to_csv. If you want the full behavior, including the codepage conversion, we will accept a PR that adds the export line in the utils definition

N.B.: sheet_to_txt is directly exposed in the generic write and writeFile functions using the bookType:"txt" option. The specific sheet is controlled by the sheet parameter.
