I build this web based management tool for my MRTG configuration
But in the HTML script I can only view TXT files in my IEXPLORER
is there a way to make MRTG log its data to a TXT file instead of a LOG file.

(I can use txt instead of cfg and for my debug options it worked fine too)
but then you can tell mrtg to make it TXT in the start command
and for the DB log file you can't
how to solve this

Log file is basically text file.. but i'm not getting you here ... what actually you are trying?

The file generated by mrtg (not using RRDtool)
has an extention DEVICE.LOG but i made a html page
so i can quick view al my log files so i can easy track errors and that stuff but my HTML page does not support a dot LOG extension
so i'd like MRTG to standard output a DEVICE.TXT file instead of a DEVICE.LOG file.

Is there a way to peform this action

or does it require editting the MRTG perl script

Two options
1) perl mrtg myrouter.cfg --logging c:\myrouter.txt

OR

2) Rename your file using ren command
ren DEVICE.LOG DEVICE.TXT

I don't mean the file generated when debugging some options
but i mean the database file where from MRTG generates it's graphs?

that extension should be TXT but is LOG
