A text file (sometimes spelled textfile; an old alternative name is flatfile) is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines of electronic text.
A text file exists within a computer file system.
"Text file" refers to a type of container, while plain text refers to a type of content. Text files can contain plain text, but they are not limited to such.
End-of-file markers
The end of a text file may be denoted by placing one or more special characters, known as an end-of-file marker, after the last line in a text file.
On some popular operating systems such as Windows or Linux, text files do not contain any special EOF character.
