Follow this steps;

  1. convert your text file to points
  2. convert points to lines with Points to Line
  3. convert lines to polygons with Feature to Polygon (Advanced licnese required)

See an example at the bottom of the page Writing geometries. The code converts a list of coordinates (a text file can be regarded as such a list) into polylines, you can easily modify it to create polygons.

I found this on this link;
