Export .txt tetraedral elements (nodes and connectivity) grouped into sets.

Dear all,
I'm meshing a building model consisting of 4 different materials (i.e., masonry, marble, wood and R/C). I have imported a 3D solid model from AutoCAD with the materials (and consequently the elements of each material) properly set into 4 layers. Then, I'm meshing in GiD. Now, I'd like to export the mesh into a .txt file to use it as input in another software.
However, when I'm converting into .txt, there are no information about which element is composed of each material. I'd like to get the sets of elements into each material for this. Is it possible to obtain a .txt file with this information?
