Text File Extenions

[s3cur17y]

Hey, I am trying to find a listing of all possible text file extenions, ranging from *.doc to *.nfo or *.diz..

If someone or some people would like to post someone extenions, go ahead.
I need to know the short, extenion and the format that it is read in such as,
*.nfo TEXT files not System infomation file are read in Terminal font.



P.S. I have a poll going on, MAC VS Windows

There could be as many as you can create out of any available alphabet including numbers. But anyway, why do you need such list ???

I don't know that it's possible to know all text extensions since you could name a text file with any extension. I believe that's why the later versions of IE have the option to "Open files based on content instead of extension" - Hotmail's website has a good example of this in that they serve html ads as .dll files. In web applications the only way to positively know the type of content a file will return is to ask the server for the content-type header (normally takes 200-500 milliseconds depending upon connection and server speed)
