Share plugin and TXT file

I have a string of data in a text object (Log_Text) and I would like to share the string of this text object as a "file.txt" file and let the user send this file using email or any other app able to send files. This should work on a mobile scenario.

Here is an example of the code I used but it doesn't work because it doesn't include the file:

Can anybody help me with this?

thanks a lot.

Share plugin examples are very clear for image files but the same approach seems not to work for a "simple" txt file.

Does anyone know how to share a txt file as an attachment?

Try type "text/plain" instead of "text.text"

dop2000 actually I did use the right "text/plain" MIME type but it doesn't work as expected.

On my mobile device, the share action is called but when I choose email I don't get any attachments or text content in other ways.

Do you think is a matter of MIME type? I have also tried "text/text" and "text/html" with the same results.

I believe the share function works differently on every platform, even on every device/OS. Maybe sharing text files is not supported on your phone..

Even from my PC Windows, I get the same result.

Windows prompts me to choose the application and selecting Mail opens a new email with no attachment.

If you wanna play with this you can download the example here.

I appreciate your help on this.

thanks a lot.
