TXT File

TXT File: A text file is one which holds just text with no document formatting information. They are the most basic type of file and so can be opened with any text editor or word processor. Also known as an "ASCII Text File" or "Plain Text File". A TXT file is often denoted by a file extension of ".txt", but there are many other file types which can also be classified as text files (for example a ".ini" file, which is normally an initialisation file, is normally a text file).
