A text file in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format. Maya scene files can be saved in an ASCII format (file extension .ma) or in a binary format (file extension .mb). Binary files are usually smaller and load faster than ASCII files, and are the default. However, only ASCII files can be edited using a text editor.
A file that only contains text characters from the ASCII character set. An ASCII file contains letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols, but does not contain any hidden text-formatting commands. Also known as a text file, and aSCII text file.
A file in plain text format. "ASCII" stands for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange."
file that uses the ASCII format. This is one of the simplest formats and can usually be read by any computer or word processor, and is useful in file transfers. It is also commonly called a "text file" or "ASCII text file" and contains very little or no formatting.
A file containing ASCII text, as opposed to a binary file which may contain numbers, or other information that cannot be sensibly interpreted as text. Often used in place of text file.
NCL: A data file that contains integers or floating point data values in ASCII format.
a basic text-only file generated by a program like Notepad
a binary file that consists of ASCII characters
a binary file that stores ASCII codes
a character by character save process
a data or text file that contains only characters coded from the standard ASCII character set
a file containing characters in ASCII format, a format that is independent of 'matlab' or any other executable program
a file that is made up entirely of characters from the ASCII set
a file which is unformatted -- there's nothing in it but the words you type (or the binary coding therefor)
a straightforward text file without special control characters
a text file and may be either delimited or fixed width
a text file that contains only printable characters and a few simple control codes
An ASCII file contains characters used on a typewriter keyboard. ASCII files can be sent and received by e-mail as attachments. Other types of file, for instance graphics files, will contain other information which will not necessarily be passed through the Internet email system without corruption because only text is expected. This means that graphics and other file formats must be converted to ASCII before they can be sent as attachments and then decoded when they have been received. This can result in difficulties as there is no single standard for this coding.
A disk file containing only ASCII characters 32 - 126, ie. only alpha-numeric characters and punctuation. Also known as a DOS or text file.
Any files that uses the 128 characters that can be encoded with seven binary digits. Files containing special characters and control codes, such as word processed files, are usually encoded with eight binary digits. Because some Internet protocols support only 7-bit text, programs, such as uuencode and binhex, have been created to encode binary files into ASCII form. ASCII files commonly are appended with the following extensions: .hqx, .ps, .tex., .txt, .uue, and .xxe. A file with a .doc extension may be either a text file or an 8-bit file.
American Standard Code for Information Interchange file containing only text; for example, schema definition files and scripts.
A file that can be opened and read by standard text editor programs (for example, Notepad or Simple Text) on almost any type of computer. Also referred to as "plain text files". Examples: documents saved in ASCII format within word processors like Microsoft Word or WordPerfect; e-mail messages created by a program like Eudora; or HTML files.
Formally, a file containing only ASCII ( 51.3) characters. More commonly (in the USA, at least) a file containing text that's printable, viewable, and has no "binary" (non-ASCII) characters. ASCII characters use only seven of the bits in a (8-bit) byte.
n. A document file in ASCII format, containing characters, spaces, punctuation, carriage returns, and sometimes tabs and an end-of-file marker, but no formatting information. Also called ASCII file, text file, text-only file. See also ASCII, text file. Compare binary file.
A file whose contents are to be interpreted as a sequence of characters as defined by the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) standard.
(Stands for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange" and is pronounced "ask-ee") A system of representing text by numbers that enables various computers to display the text in a uniform way. In FTP, it is a method for transferring text only files.
A file containing characters that any program on any computer can use. Sometimes called a text file or an ASCII text file. (ASCII is pronounced "ASK-key.")
A text file that uses only the ASCII character set.
ASCII files are those that only use the 128 characters that can be encoded with 7 binary digits. This means that most text files are ASCII files. Word processed files, which include special characters and control codes are usually encoded with 8 binary digits. Some Internet protocols only support 7-bit text, such as simple mailers and newsgroups. Because of this, ways have been developed to encode binary files into ASCII form. The most common of these are uuencode and binhex, the latter for Macintosh files, primarily. Two more examples of 7-bit file systems are postscript (.ps files) and TeX (.tex files), which are word processing systems that allow encoding of complex information in 7-bit form. Common extensions for ASCII files are .txt, .uue, .xxe, .hqx, .ps, and .tex. Also files with names like README or index are almost always text files. The .doc extension may be text or may be 8-bit, and you need to know more about it to be sure.
a file that contains no special formatting, generally used as a data file.
a file that contains only ASCII characters usually equivalent to plain text or DOS text. For comparison, see binary file WWWebfx Home Page
A text file that conforms to the American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
A standard text file. ASCII text files are editable in almost any text editor of word processor. ASCII text files have no formatting (special fonts, text sizes and effects, etc.) The use of a word processor to edit these files is discouraged. Check out our links to some useful text editors for windows.
A generic text file that is stripped of program-specific control characters.
