Mistaken TXT file
File type: Miscellaneous file
The .iascii file extension identifies a mistaken TXT file rather than a distinct, documented file format.
The file contains plain text and was probably given the wrong extension when it was created or renamed.

The IASCII file extension is not associated with a specific application or documented file format. In this record, it refers to a mistaken TXT file rather than a separate .iascii format.
The file can contain ordinary text, such as notes or other text-based data. Changing the extension to .txt restores the usual extension for a plain-text file; this does not change the file's contents.
The name iAscii is also used for a picture image format that uses ASCII text characters for designing and is optimized for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Pictures in that format can be created with the iAscii Art application. ASCII text file format usually has the txt file extension.
Open the file with any plain-text editor. If the editor does not recognize the .iascii extension, use its Open command to select the file, or rename the file with a .txt extension first.
No format conversion is needed for a mistaken TXT file. Rename the .iascii file to use the .txt extension, or save its plain-text contents from a text editor as a TXT file.
