Convert XLS to TXT

XLS files are Excel files that use the Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF), which was the default format for Excel versions 97-2003.

XLS files can contain multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They support various data types, including text, numbers, dates, and formulas.

Key features of XLS files include:

• Compatibility with older versions of Excel and other spreadsheet software
• Ability to store formatting information, charts, and macros
• Smaller file size compared to newer formats like XLSX
• Limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet

While XLS files are still widely used, they are gradually being replaced by the more modern XLSX format.

TXT (Text) is a simple, plain text file format that contains unformatted text.

Key features of TXT files include:

• Universal compatibility across all operating systems and devices
• Lightweight and easy to create, edit, and read
• No formatting or styling, just pure text content
• Can be opened and edited with any text editor

TXT files are commonly used for:

• Simple note-taking and quick memos
• Creating readme files for software projects
• Storing configuration information
• Exchanging raw data between different systems

While TXT files lack advanced formatting options, their simplicity makes them ideal for situations where plain text is sufficient and file size needs to be minimal.
