.txt is a text file. You can do many things with text files, depending on what you want to do.

Its a text file, that contains text.

Usual names are readme.txt, and is most likely supplied with something you download.

Just to add to the answers above (and hopefully not confuse you!), a file extension does not have to specify the type of file, although it generally does.

It is possible to have a file called "readme" (with no extension) that is a text file, or a text file with the name "this_is_a_text_file.mp3". It would perhaps confuse any mp3 players, but it is possible. It's what is contained in the file that determines what type of file it is. The extension is just a nicety that (most) people agree on.

Microsoft Word - Notepad - and many other applications use text files (.txt) Use Google for a full explanation - 'what is a .txt file?'

You could store lines to say in a text file, yes. However, that's not all it is used for, nor is that the only way to have a bot say something. A text file, as mentioned, is simply a file that is (usually) used to hold text.

If you want to have a bot do something specific, it would help to explain what you want it to do and we can help you with a script to do it.

ok right specific:

CAN a text file do this:
Person:!fact
bot:*whatever fact it may be*
but it choses the fact at random?
so if the same person did it again it would do a different fact ? can it do it? and whats the script for it?

Code:
on *:text:!fact:#yourchannel: {
  msg $chan $read(facts.txt)
}


Then, just have the facts in the file like:

The sky is blue.
The grass is green.
The sun rises in the morning.

Make sure that you change #yourchannel to the channel you want it in. If you want it for all channels, just put # without a channel name. Also, make sure you use the same filename in the script as what you stored the facts into.
