Here's a way to output to a fixed path text file using doc.exportAsText:

// set up output text
var TEMP_FIELD_NAME = "testHeader"
var textValue = "test";
// add a temporary text field
var f = this.addField(TEMP_FIELD_NAME, "text", 0, [30,30,100,20]);
f.value = textValue;
// export field name and value to defined file
this.exportAsText({aFields: TEMP_FIELD_NAME, cPath: "test-text.txt"});
// remove text field
this.removeField(TEMP_FIELD_NAME);

The resulting text file will have two lines:

testHeader

test
