Convert ASC to TEXT

Understanding ASC and Text file formats

The ASC file format is a plain text format often used for storing ASCII characters. It is commonly used for simple text files that do not require any special formatting. On the other hand, a Text file, typically with a .txt extension, is a standard text document that contains unformatted text. Text files are widely used for storing data in a readable format and can be opened by most text editors.

How to convert ASC to Text

Converting an ASC file to a Text file is a straightforward process since both formats are plain text. You can simply rename the file extension from .asc to .txt, or use a text editor to save the file in the desired format.
