Can iLogic print .txt of .xls?

Can you print files with iLogic other than IV drawings?

I have a rule which finds all drawings from an assembly and prints/exports them.

Now I got the question if we can add a print of the BOM of that.

I already can make a .txt files which is placed in the same folder as the export.... Now on to print it!

Is this even possible within inventor?

Anyone know this?

Are you wanting to actually execute a "print" to a physical printer, or export to a PDF? Or something else?

Are you wanting this print/export to be of the BOM itself, or of the TXT file your code makes?

I want to print the txt my code itself makes.
