I'm sorry if this is yaFAQ but I don't normally frequent this group. I'd like to know what is the absolute definitive way to recognise a Postscript file. I'm currently using the following method in my interface script under UN*X head -3 /tmp/$$ | grep %! It seems to be the only way that does work all the time. Although I thought that when the previous interface script I wrote used to look for a %! as the first 2 chars in the incoming file but of course Micros*ft Word for Windows stuffed it because it sends a cntrl-D at the start of the file. Any pointers would be appreciated.....MarkC..... -- Mark Coleman O O EMAIL: colemanm@cheops.qld.tne.oz.au Telecom Australia | FAX: +61 7 837 4704 TNE Computer Support Services ***** PH: +61 7 837 3143 Brisbane, Queensland.
