Hi,
I have a funtion named unzipper() which does the work of unzipping the
files.
Is there a way I can identify what is the type of the file which'll be
passed to unzipper().
If yes, I'll be able to make out if it's a zip file or a tar or a bz2
file.
Thanks,
Ritesh

Under Linux you can use the file command in a pipe.
In all cases, you use the "magic" repository of the file command directly like
this (I found the '\xff\xd8' for jpeg in /usr/share/file/magic.mime on my
debian)
In [69]: f = file ('samurai_tux.j pg')
In [70]: s = f.read(2)
In [71]: s == '\xff\xd8'
Out[71]: True
Thanks,
Ritesh

But isn't there any library function ?
Something like
XX.filetype(nam e)
Directory
File-Tar
File-Zip
File-MPEG

I bet you have rebound "file" to a string, like this:
file = "some name"
And PLEASE don't top-quote: http://www.redballoon.net/~snorwood/quote-rant.shtml

This happens if you rebind names of builtins. In this case to a string.
Don't do that!
In [5]:file
Out[5]:<type 'file'>
In [6]:file = 'foo.txt'
In [7]:file
Out[7]:'foo.txt'
In [8]:file('x')

stange, did you define a function named file ?
You can use open instead.

You know all the times people say in this group "Don't use list
or str or file[HINT] or anything else that shadows a built in as
a variable name"? Now you know why.

Do I have to use some APIs? or do you know a method to find out the file

realized its great that I now know the latest file, but I need to know
the name of the file. Unfortunately, I am only passing the date into
the array.
Do I need to create a m-d array ? If so how do I create a 2-d array

Afternoon,
I've spent all morning trawling the net looking for an answer to this. In the end, I've had to resort to good old fashioned asking.
How do you determine a file's MIME type using VB.NET?
The problem is:
- I have an ASP.NET web application
- I can display a list of all files in a directory on the server (it's a "directory share" for a scanner)
- I want the user to be able to select one of the files to import into the...
