Hi Silvia, one possible solution would be that you used Wordfast Anywhere https://www.freetm.com/ (it is a free tool) to upload your TXT memory and then convert it to TMX and download it. You could give it a try. It worked for me with old TXT memories created with the first version of Wordfast, a long time ago.

Good luck!

Hi Silvia Gentili 

Just for a little fun... you could open the TXT in a text editor, like Notepad++, and separate the source text and the target text, then create a filetype in Studio for the resultant files containing the source and target, then finally align them.  If your TXT is really huge this might not be a very good approach but if it's only a few thousand TUs then it could be a way of doing it.

Alternatively you could send me the TXT and I'll convert it to TMX in Trados Workbench for you - pfilkin@sdl.com

I'm not sure Wordfast Anywhere will do this without some work as the formats are not exactly the same (Trados TXT/Wordfast TXT)... you might know that Olifant won't handle a Trados TXT either.

For the benefit of anyone who doesn't remember, or is simply too young to know, the old Trados Workbench could create two types of exchange files... TMX and TXT.  The TXT looks as though it might be XML but it's not... full of opening tags with no closing tags and stuff like that.  Hard to bring into Excel because the source and target are not on the same line.
