(redirected from Texter)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Words, sentences and paragraphs. Contrast with data, which are defined units, such as name and amount due. Text may also refer to alphanumeric data, such as name and address, to distinguish it from numeric data, such as quantity and dollar amounts. A page of text takes about 2,000 to 4,000 bytes. See text field.

1.text - Executable code, especially a "pure code" portion shared between multiple instances of a program running in a multitasking operating system.

Compare English.
2.text - Textual material in the mainstream sense; data in ordinary ASCII or EBCDIC representation (see flat ASCII). "Those are text files; you can review them using the editor."

These two contradictory senses confuse hackers too.
