Text file extension list

File extensions used for text file types.

Text file is a kind of computer file which often stores plain text information in ASCII format. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character-encoding scheme based on the ordering of the English alphabet. The ASCII standard allows ASCII-only text files to be freely interchanged and readable on Unix, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, DOS, and other platforms. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text.

Modern character-encoding schemes, which support many more characters than did the original, are based on ASCII. Text files have many of file suffixes, but most used file extension which identify simple text is txt or text (Microsoft Windows) and MIME type is "text/plain" (MAC OS X, Linux).

Text files can be simply opened and edited in many of plain text editors (Notepad, Notepad++ and many others).
