What do you mean?? just about every character is printed in ASCII (if not all). even the numbers you see in a text file. ASCII turns intigers into characters so it is readable.

If the contents of the file have a majority of symbols with Ascii Values from 32 to 122 then you can safely assume that it is an ASCII Text File.

In Windows OS's ... a simple way is often to just look at the end of the file name ...
Is it .txt
or
.dat
etc ...
Or ...
Just load the file into a text-file-processor like notepad .... and look-see
