Re^2: Open a Microsoft Word Doc and Save as plain text file

Thank you monks for your inputs.

I found this code from CGI to be very good in determining the type of file

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $file = $cgi->param('file');
my $type = $cgi->uploadInfo($file)->{'Content-Type'};

Ah, yes, good idea. It does rely on the client to identify the document, though; if the user's Web browser doesn't know what the file is, it will probably be reported to you as `application/octet-stream` or `text/plain` if it smells like text. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply]
