I am sure, you could get what you need from that code, in order to throw together a little class to do what you want.

Re: help with file header

I tried this a while ago, and its not 100% possible because i think not all files contain a header or such that says what the file is

Re: help with file header

He wants to use the header of the file.

What if for some reason it has no extension? Then that way won't work .
