fileIsBinary()

Author: Lexikos Last Modified: 20091226


This function checks if file is a text format or in binary format. The check is done by content of file and not from extension. This could be useful at unknwon extensions.

fileIsBinary(_filePath)

For the functions's parameters and return value, please see it's source code.

Remarks

The initial given function by Tuncay is superceded by the simple one from Lexikos. But I decided not to give any License, the function is too simple for that.

For update's details and remarks related to the functions, please see the AutoHotkey Forum: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=320069#320069
