Overview
The GetFileTypeString function examines either the file extension or the file header to determine the type of file and returns it as a string.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string = GetFileTypeString ( string source, [boolean extension_only] );
Parameters
source
A string specifying a qualified source filename to inspect. For maximum flexibility, this file is opened with read access and share write/read.
extension_only
An optional boolean flag that when TRUE causes the function to only examine the extension. The default value is FALSE.
Return Value
Returns a string as a file type code or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
See the introduction to this section for the file codes and their meaning. If this function searches only by extension, the file is not opened.
