Output Text File? Possible?

I have a list of 18,000 words. I put those words in an array and I wrote some code that filtered that list down to 2000 words. How can I take those 2000 words and create a text file that can be used in something like  Notepad or Word.   I'm actualy compiling about 13 different lists with almost the same amount of words  and, unfortunately, there is no "Select All" option in the output panel menu. It takes several minutes to scroll through an entire list.

Sure there is - just right click and select Copy.

Wow, thanks. I was right-clicking on the selections like I would do in a word file. Odd that they wouldn't  just notify you of that option in the menu.

If you use AIR you can create files on your machine.  Try searching Google using terms like "AS3 AIR file tutorial" and that might be enough to get you started.  HEre's one result from that search:
