Search this forum for 'utl_file'. This is the best utility available to manage writing and reading text files. In your database look at the public view ALL_SOURCE for the name UTL_FILE to get a description of its features. If you don't have it, look in your Form Builder and under Built-in Packages see if you have TEXT_IO.
