Keep The Document Extensions - Re: displaying excel/pdf files in browser

I'm not sure if I understand what you're doing but it seems like you're using Perl on your Windows machine to look for Excel and PDF files?

Well, are you trying to open the excel or pdf files with their extension intact? If you use IE it should autodetect the file type from the extension and open Excel inside of your browser but if you rename a spreadsheet from mydoc.xls to mydoc then you will probably have the troubles that you have right now.

I am actually trying to use perl on a *nix box to search for excel and pdf files. I have not modified the extenstions, just check them to see what type of report it found. Prince99 Too Much is never enough...	[reply]
