You can't do it with a batch, as the text file is a comma delimited file you can import it into a spreadsheet program and the copy the required column to a txt file

thanks for the answer

i know how to do it through spread sheet, but i want to do it using an automated process
can i do this in html or something

You cant do this through dos but I would try perl or awk (both text manupilation scripting languages). Quite easy to learn as well.
