ASCII Format Overview

The ASCII format defines the basic character set for computers. It’s made up of 128 characters. An text file contains only the characters and simple formatting controls such as paragraph returns and tabs. All of the visual effects added by today’s word processing programs such as typefaces, font sizes, colors, line and paragraph spacing, tables and graphics are not available in the ASCII format. Most application output text including databases and spreadsheets. This data is used to feed into reports, statements and dashboards which require formatting. Typical uses for text output include content indexing, content searching, data processing, data reuse.

Text files are quite simple with fixed character spacing.
