Does the file have to be a text file specifically? How will it be used?
If your app is the only one that will be using it, you could use an
array to represent the data, with one key for the text and another for
the thumbnail.
Then again, Bill Prothero raised a good point when he noted that
thumbnail of text is often too small to give any indication of the content.
If that's the case here, perhaps whatever needs these small
representations could display the first X number of words of the text to
give the user some idea about what the text contains.
But all of this is just guessing. It would be most helpful to know how
these files will be used.
