Reference Material Associated File Types There are four common file types associated with ArtCAM Cabinetmaker: CSV, TXT, DXF and TPL. The following information offers an explanation of each of these file types. What are CSV Files? CSV (Comma Separated Variable) files are a traditional means of writing database or spreadsheet files to disk. Many modern applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access, can read and write these files. Their advantage nowadays is that they and the data in them can easily be manipulated with a simple text editor, rather than needing the full application which wrote them. The structure of a CSV file is very simple. It is a text file, and usually starts with a list of fields, separated by commas. For example, if the file was to store people's names and addresses, the first line of the file might look like: Forename, Surname, Address1, Address2, City, PostCode Subsequent lines contain the data corresponding to these fields, e.g: John, Doe, 12 Any Street, A Town, Some County, B1 2YZ What are TXT Files? TXT files are plain text format files. In general, "text" refers to characters of the alphabet, numerals, punctuation, and a few common symbols. Although text is encoded in files by various methods, the most common encoding for western text is ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format.
