Does anyone one have any idea how to save the content of a TListView to a text file

Answer:

You could save the contents to a TStrings object, and then save the TStrings using 
.SaveToFile.
1   
2   procedure ListViewToStrings(AListView: TListView; AStrings: TStrings; const Delim:
3     string = ';');
4   var
5     Ix, Sx: Integer;
6     S: string;
7   begin
8     AStrings.BeginUpdate;
9     Ix := 0;
10    while Ix < AListView.Items.Count do
11    begin
12      with AListView.Items[Ix] do
13      begin
14        S := Caption + Delim;
15        if Assigned(SubItems) then
16        begin
17          Sx := 0;
18          while Sx < SubItems.Count do
19          begin
20            S := S + SubItems[Sx] + Delim;
21            Inc(Sx);
22          end;
23        end;
24      end;
25      AStrings.Append(S);
26      Inc(Ix);
27    end;
28    AStrings.EndUpdate;
29  end;
