listingtxt

Listingtxt is a plain‑text file format commonly used to store structured lists of items, such as inventory records, real‑estate entries, or catalog data. The extension “.txt” indicates that the file contains unformatted ASCII or Unicode characters, which makes it readable by any text editor and easily processed by scripts in languages such as Python, Perl, or Bash. Because the format lacks native metadata, list entries are typically delimited by line breaks and may use simple separators—commas, tabs, or vertical bars—to divide fields within each line. A typical listingtxt for property data might include columns for address, price, square footage, and listing date, each separated by a chosen delimiter.

The format’s simplicity encourages portability across operating systems and software platforms. Users can import listingtxt files

Because listingtxt contains only raw text, it does not support embedded images, formatting, or validation rules;
