MySQL and Blackboard

I need to generate user accounts for web portal software called blackboard. I have a simple table in a MySQL database that consists of first, last, and middle names, and the students ID. To import user accounts into blackboard, you use a simple txt file in the following format: "username","lastname","firstname","email@email.com ","password","studentID","middlename,"...etc. where each line represents a user. Is there a way I can write a SQL script that will grab data from the MySQL database and generate a txt file in that format so I can import the users into blackboard?

no...you can pull out all the data with a single query, but you're gonna need to format it and write it to a text file with something like php.
