You mean unix 'file' command? ... Whohoa.. I just tried it.. Oh my crackers.. You guys have got to check this out if you don't know this.. Snap up a terminal and do # file yourtext.txt ; and put diff things in there, some c code, some javascript (by default snaps to C++), html .. etc.. I had no clue little ol' "file" did that, i thought it just read mime type off a header somewhere...

It's close. Still, it makes an overall deduction .. or guess.. Not sure if it will accept a true mix of code.. . It's insanely sexy.. If you have a text file with long lines it will tell you 'english , really long lines'. I'm gonna pick that some more.. You rock.. Oh Anonymous Monk.

Looking through the magic numbers file.... wow.. a lot of work went into this...
