Opening text files from finder: Unable to find application

Since I updated my OSX to version 10.9.1 I am unable to open text files from the Finder.

I always opened the files with the default TextEditor. I've tried to change the default application from TextEditor to Sublime Text 2, which results in exactly the same error:

"Unable to find the application"

When I open TextEditor or Sublime Text 2 I can successfully open the file and view it's contents.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Try setting the default app to open .txt files using Get Info

1. Left click a text file
2. Choose "Get Info"
3. Under "Open with:" choose the app you want to use as the default
4. Click "Change All..."
5. Click "Continue"
