Okay I need a tile map editor, I tried about 20 and none of them

I tried 20 of these, none of them do what I want.

In my game I save my levels as text files, so a level in map1.txt looks like
(_ is space)

___o______o
____o______o

AAAAAAAAAAAA


edit: pic now

does anyone know of a map editor where you can simply assign the tiles one character assignments (such as "a" or "A" and "1" or "%"), and then output it to a text file, where top row is top row of the map editor, last row is the last row in the map editor?

(each character is a sprite or a tile in the game)

I have been looking for about a month while making my project, and I am at the point where I need to begin creating levels. I have tried about 20 different map editors, and they only export in arrays, or other programmy language type things. Thanks for the help.

tile studio does this nicely, but you have to code the output yourself.

I tried that, I couldn't get it to work. Do you a copy of one custom programmed to do it?
