What is ANSI text?
ANSI (pronounced “ansee”) is an acronym, which stands for “American National Standards Institute” and is used to describe files that are stored in clear text format. ANSI text is one of the simplest forms of text, meaning there is little to no formatting mechanism within the document and the text is not platform or application specific. Because of its simplicity, ANSI text enables anyone to view a collateral description on-line exactly how a UCC Filer constructed it.
