Howto export Table into tab delimited text file

Kodiak_SeattleDec 8 2010 — edited Mar 7 2012
I am an end-user, normally I connected to the 10G database 10.2.0 using TOAD, but I do have access to use SQL*Plus, and I know basics about that, how to login and stuff like that.

I need to export the contents of a Table from my schema to a Tab-delimited text file (onto my Windows XP machine), I don't have command line access to the Oracle server where
the database run on.

How do I do this, I tried to learn how to use (exp), but that seems to require access to the command line [which I don't have], and then it recommended to use data pump, but I don't know how this all works.

The table had 4.7+ million records in it and using the Toad "Save database as..." takes way too long.

Please help!
