	Text file - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Text files are files where most bytes (or short sequences of bytes) represent ordinary readable characters such as letters, digits, and punctuation (including spaces), and include some control characters such as tabs, line feeds and carriage returns.
		Text files have some advantages even for data storage because they avoid certain problems with binary files, such as endianness, padding bytes, or differences in the number of bytes in a machine word.
		Plain text is often used as a readable representation of other data that is not itself purely textual: for example, a formatted webpage is not plain text, but its HTML source is. Similarly, source code for computer programs is usually stored in text files, but is compiled into a binary form for execution.

	Binary and text files (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Text files (ie plain text files) are files with generally a correspondence between the bytes and ordinary readable such as letters and digits.
		Transferring text files between Unix Macintosh and Microsoft Windows or DOS computers can be problematic as each uses different characters to signify a line See new line for a discussion of this confusion.
		Binary files are often encoded into a text representation to improve survivability during transit encoding schemes such as Base64.

	Leo's Lyrics Database - Lyrics Plugin - Use existing text files (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		On the other hand it would be nice if the plug-in would see that there is already a text file and USE it, and if it's not in the database then upload it.
		It would be great to support the conversion of archives and text files from other plugins, but there are an endless number of formats that they may be in.
		Associating mp3 files with the text files would be hit-and-miss, which would probably make (a good) implementation of that feature take a long time to do....for that reason, it is a lower priority for the plugin right now.

	Modules: Reading Text Files
		In addition to "standardizing" the handling of files, it also gives the programmer a "look ahead" and "look behind" feature that allows the programmer to "see" the next line before it's actually used, and the last line it worked with.
		On files that have more then 4096 characters per line, this can be changed.
		I use this a lot on files that come off of Main Frames and are really ment to be printed, rather then read into a program.

	Creating Visio Drawings from Text Files
		For Visio to convert a text file into a drawing, the text file must be written in a carefully structured manner.
		The text file must be in CSV (short for comma-separated value) format or TXT (short for text but really should be tab-separated value) format.
		Each line in the text file is a record or a comment, with one exception: you can have blank lines, which simply aid the readability of the text file.

	wxbasic.sourceforge.net :: View topic - opening text files
		Text files seem to have just about any/none extensions.
		It suddenly dawned on me that I can't deal with all the extensions that text files have so I've decided that what I really need is some kind of filter for extensions like.exe,.bmp,.dll, etc. There are a lot less of those to deal with.
		When it tries to open a not text file it displays only a few characters so that's not too bad.

	How To Manipulate Text Files in an ASP Page
		You may want to use a text file for the sake of simplicity (when a database or more complicated file format may be excessive) or when prior data exists in the form of text files.
		If drives are formatted using the NTFS file system, users in the Administrator group have control over security permissions for entire drives, folders, and files.
		When you design and write an ASP application that uses the above-mentioned file manipulation techniques, special consideration should be given to the security permissions for the file system on deployment computers to prevent errors that are related to insufficient security permissions.

	Java Technology Forums - line separator for text files
		You can't write a text file and simply expect that it will look right on all different platforms, as those platforms (or rather the apps that run on them, such as NotePad, etc) expect the text file to be formatted in different ways.
		The clients file contents are stored in a string array and then transferred to a new file depending on which rows and columns the client wants inthe new file.
		Files with the line separator of the characters (char)0xd(char)0xa can be properly read on Mac OS X's.

	Lazarus Project :: View topic - Lazarus is a shit about opening text files
		You can load a file with just one line of code, manipulating strings is also verry easy.
		Well, using higher level components have one bad thing: You must load whole file to memory, what can be very unwanted when the file is big and you don't need to load all the file to get your informations.
		I do little text output, mostly settings wich can be stored in ini or xml files, sometimes streams for fast low level processing, almost all components use streams to load and save data/text so i think it's the best way to go if you can't use the existing components.
