How to provide the lookup entities in .txt format

Sure! For example, your lookup table could be a file like:

fruits.yml:

version: "2.0"
nlu:
  - lookup: fruits
    examples: |
      - apples
      - bananas
      - pears

Your nlu.yml should contain some examples that include the lookup table items. You don’t have to include every single lookup table item, just a few of them. You also do not have to mention fruits.yml or the lookup table in the nlu.yml file. Including it in the data directory is enough.

nlu.yml:

version: "2.0"
nlu:
- intent: ask_for_fruit
  examples: |
     - I'd like to buy some [apples](fruits)
     - Can I purchase some [pears](fruits)?

Finally, your directory structure should look like this:

data/nlu.yml
data/fruits.yml

Does that clear things up @susajsnair?
