This should have worked. Make sure that:
- FoxTrot is not running when you enter the command
- the command is typed or pasted as a single line, followed by a return
- the FoxTrot index needs to be rebuilt afterwards

Telling the Finder to open .dart files with a specific application is not enough; the application has to define the file extension in its info.plist file, and declare that it is a source code file; something like this:

UTExportedTypeDeclarations

UTTypeIdentifier
public.dart-source
UTTypeDescription
Dart source file
UTTypeConformsTo

public.source-code

UTTypeTagSpecification

public.filename-extension

dart

However, if this conflicts with a type declaration of another application (DiskImageMounter, in the case of dart, which associates the .dart extension to the com.apple.disk-image-dart UTI), then rebuilding the LaunchService database might be necessary, but I am not sure how this conflict will be arbitrated. Anyway, method 1 above should always work, independently of these LaunchServices considerations.

Additionally, there is yet another way to force some files to be indexed as plain text: set their HFS filetype to 'TEXT'. Kinda deprecated, but still working.
