Text file
A text file is a generic description of a kind of computer file in a computer file system. At this generic level of description, there are two kinds of computer files: 1) text files; and 2) binary files. This broad two-level distinction is widely recognized and applied in computing, even though it can be misleading, and subject to differing interpretation.
