DM TextDump

[DreamVB]

hi all, this is one of my latest appI been working on today. it allows you to extract text from files and store them in a text file. it very easy to use you just pass a input and output file shown further down. Hope you find it us full.

Comments are welcome as I am sure there maybe better ways to do this.
