Import and Export .txt files to MYSQL

One of  the main poblems  related to work with SQL is :  exporting and importing  .txt files to  SQL.
I see myself  too many  websites and books for finding  a simple command  for this purpose , but most of them proposing  tools or  very difficult commands.
Myself  , i am  using  the following  simple command .

1- make a database :  create database name_db ;
          mysql> create database my_exper;

 Enter in  your  database :  Use  my_exper ;

2- make  a  table with your favorite number of  columns:  create table exper ( U_Id varchar(18), Reg_No varchar(8) , Mob_No  int , age int);

3- Import  data  from  .txt files on your  table  in  MYSQL :  [ in my .txt file fields  separated  by "," ]
            load data local   infile "d:/myfile/m.txt"   into table  exper   fields  terminated  by  ","  ;
some time  no neccessary  write  local word  on this command.

4- show tables from  my_exper ;
5- show  structure  of  your  table  : describe  exper ;
6- show  all  rows  in  your  table  : select  *  from  exper ;
 7-  Exporting    (saving )  MySQL   data  in .txt   file :
  select  *  into  outfile  "D:/my_results/mr.txt"   fields  terminated  by ","    from   exper where   age>40 ; 
  
I will be happy if  share with me  your  new  ideas.
Best  wishes
