Ok there cowboy...

Let me ask you this.
Have you ever encountered a file that you could not open using wordpad/any other text editor of your choice? If so, I'd love to see it. And don't tell me that 'picture files' pass...because:

code:

$4á%ñ&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz"šÆ’"ž"¦" "¡Ë†"°Å '"""¢-"”˜™š¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª²³´µ¶·¸¹ºÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚâãäåæçèéêòóôõö÷øùúÿÀ

That was an exerpt from a .jpg opened using wordpad.

code:

²ìÆï*7"nsÛAÆv·äiE"¢Ã¡Ã†-.Nx"š^~Ÿ'=Ã¥G4ok«ÿ

That's an exerpt from a .avi opened using wordpad.

Are you getting what I'm saying yet?

Any file on your computer, no matter what the extension, can be looked at as simply a bunch of ASCII.
So...when you say textfile, I'm guessing you mean .txt.
Here's some news for you. You don't have to use that extension! Change it if you like, it's not suddenly going to turn into a malignant efficacious sentry.

In conclusion. Read the tutorial. Use the info presented within it. Stop looking at things in black and white...you'll only start seeing ghosts.
