You don't seem to be paying attention:
Your 'solution' won't help at all if the data aren't needed for a text file. What if they're simply required that way for feeding into another application, programmatically, without producing a text file? Besides, it's not at all hard to consolidata the data as requested - and outputting to a text file, without saving as csv then replacing commas.
