Kunal,

> Is there any ways to convert .txt file to .cdl format ?????

There are as many way to convert text files to CDL as there are text
editors.  Familiarity with a text editor is necessary.  Depending on
what form your text data is in, it may be practical to write a small
text editing script to do most of the work.

Another tool named Rosetta is under development for converting text
data directly into netCDF form:

Depending on how closely your data resembles the text output of data
loggers, it may be practical to use Rosetta to achieve what you want to 
do.
