First of all, if you want to save your output a as a text file outside of
Mathematica (presumably to be used by other programas, such as Excel or the
such) you must use the proper syntax. By the way, you have the wrong syntax
for a, too, which I guess should be


In[2]:=
a={{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12},{13,14,15,16}}

Then, save this by using

In[5]:=
Export["a.txt", a, "CSV"]

Notice that !!a.txt simply displays the contents of the file a.txt - it
doesn't load a.txt, as you say. In order to bring it back and use it with
the same name a, do

In[9]:=
a  = Import["a.txt", "CSV"]
Out[9]=
{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11, 12},
  {13, 14, 15, 16}}

Check the result:

In[11]:=
a
Out[11]=
{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11, 12},
  {13, 14, 15, 16}}
