If you select all the books you want in your catalog (or just hit CTRL+A if you want all your books), then go to the the dropdown menu for the "Convert book" icon and select "Create a catalog of books in your library", that'll create a CSV (excel) file. The dialog gives you options as to what information you want displayed in the catalog file and where you want to save the file. If you need it to be in .txt format, it's fairly straightforward to format the cells the way you want, and then just copy them into Notepad (or whatever text editor you use).

Edit
Whoops, that'll learn me to go shooting my mouth off before reading Kovid's posts. His/Krittika's link covers the above in greater and more useful detail.
