This would create a document in a folder called Test with 10 contacts in it...

 

 

String sfilec = 'LastName, FirstName' +  '\n';
String sFolder = 'Test';

List<Contact> cons = [Select Id, FirstName, LastName from Contact limit 10];

for Contact c: cons) {

sfilec += c.LastName + ',' + c.FirstName; 
sfilec += '\n';
}


Id sFolderId = [Select Id From Folder where Name = :sFolder].Id;

Document dn = new Document();

dn.Name = 'TestFile;
dn.FolderId = sFolderId;
dn.Body = Blob.valueOf(sfilec);
dn.ContentType = 'text/plain';
dn.Type = 'txt';
insert dn;

You would need to use the apex data loader (setup>data management > dataloader) to get csv outputs of records. It can be run command line and therefore schedulable using an os scheduler such as task manager.

Using Visualforce, you could also create a page that sets the content-type to "text/csv" and output the results to the page; this will prompt the browser to save the file.
