Export Feature Attribute to ASCII question

Question

Does anyone know a way to export every "Value_Field" in a shape file without specifically using the name of every one individually? In other words is there some kind of wildcard value or loop that will just export every single "Value_Field" that is in the shape file?

Based on this:
ExportXYv_stats (Input_Feature_Class, Value_Field, Delimiter, Output_ASCII_File, Add_Field_Names_to_Output)

Really appreciate you guys taking time to document this.  Am a Python novice, too.  Made a big contribution to my project.

Ah, I got it to work with a couple changes.  Thank you both for the help!

1.  input_features = "ShapeFile.shp" needed the entire path instead of just the file name in order to work with arcpy.ListFields for some reason

2. "if fields.type != ...." needed to be changed to "if f.type != ...."

Anyone else have any ideas on this?

I would use mathew's solution. Your code should look something like this:
# Export feature locations and attributes to an ASCII text file

# Import system modules

import arcpy

# Local variables...

workspace = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\InputFolder.ospfds"

input_features = "ShapeFile.shp"
fields = arcpy.ListFields (input_features )
field_text = list()
for f in fields:
    if fields.type != "Geometry":
        field_text.append(f.name)

export_ASCII = "ExportFile.txt"

try:

# Set the current workspace (to avoid having to specify the full path to the feature classes each time)

arcpy.env.workspace = workspace

# Process: Export Feature Attribute to ASCII...

arcpy.ExportXYv_stats(input_features, field_text, "COMMA", export_ASCII, "ADD_FIELD_NAMES")

except:

# If an error occurred when running the tool, print out the error message.

print arcpy.GetMessages()
